| On Tuesday, Czechia will host the English national team at the Fortuna Arena in Prague. Both teams started the competition with a defeat and are therefore already under pressure to win. The hosts lost their opening game at home 1-2 against Croatia and showed a largely harmless performance. England also suffered a home defeat, losing 2-3 to world champions Spain in a hard-fought match. Harry Kane missed a penalty at 2-1 that could have decided the game. The Czechs disappointed against Croatia with only five shots on goal. This trend continued after their weak World Cup performance. The head-to-head record shows a slight dominance for England. In the five previous games, the Three Lions have won three times, there was one draw, and the Czech Republic won one. The last game took place at Euro 2020, where England won 1-0. |
