England vs Czechia prediction
THE FORECAST
England are heavily favoured given a 43-place FIFA ranking gap, a dominant home record of 73% wins across 70 competitive matches, and strong current form with 3.7 goals scored per game versus Czechia's 2.3 conceded per game. Both sides have only 3 days' rest but the next fixture is 37 days away for each, removing any rotation incentive and allowing both to field full-strength squads, though O'Reilly and Konsa are slight doubts for England. Czechia's winless Nations League campaign under a new foreign manager offers little resistance against a side that came back from 2-0 down against Spain, and the mild weather suits England's pressing style.
