Czech Republic: Three defeats under Santi Denia
After three matchdays, Czechia are bottom of the group with no points, while Croatia sit three points ahead of them in the fight for third place. Santi Denia, the Spaniard who took charge of the national team after the World Cup, has lost all three matches so far.
In Oviedo, Denia's side gave the world champions a real scare. After the break, Jiří Sláma pulled it back to one goal. Late on, Ryan Naderi, in his first appearance for the national team, turned in a rebound, but the goal was ruled out for an attacking foul and Spain scored a third.

England
❓ Tuchel is without Nico O'Riley: the defender returned to his club for assessment and has been ruled out for the remaining matches of the camp. Before the tournament began, Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento had already dropped out of the squad through injury and load management. England picked up no new injuries in Rijeka. Before travelling to Croatia, Tuchel hinted that he would name a more rotated side against Czechia. According to a British outlet, Jude Bellingham, Marc Guéhi and Myles Lewis-Skelly are one yellow card away from suspension.
Czech Republic
❓ Captain Ladislav Krejčí picked up two yellow cards in Oviedo and will miss the match at Wembley. Pavel Šulc, on the other hand, has served his suspension for the red card in Prague and may return to the squad. Adam Karabec was injured in Prague and did not play in Oviedo. Vladimír Coufal missed the match in Oviedo due to a knee problem and his involvement is in doubt. Tomáš Holeš, David Jurásek, Lukáš Provod and others are out injured, and Tomáš Souček is recovering.

⚽️ Goals prediction
At home, England have scored more than three goals in only 1 of their last 10 matches. The Nations League picture is similar: on home soil, they have failed to reach four goals in 6 of their last 7 games in the competition. In Czechia's Nations League matches, the combined total has stayed under five goals seven times in a row. No team in the tournament has yet scored a fourth goal against Czechia. The bet is England Team Total - Under 3.5.
🚩 Corners prediction
Both sides generate plenty of corners. Across England's last ten official matches, there have been 91 corners in total; Czechia's last ten produced exactly the same number. England themselves took 50 of those, their opponents 41. Czechia took 49 and their opponents 42. The bet is Total Corners - Over 8.5.
🟨 Yellow cards prediction
The referee has not yet been announced, so we focus on the teams themselves. Both sides have been relatively disciplined. In their last ten official matches, England received 11 yellow cards and their opponents the same. Czechia collected 11 of their own and their opponents 15. Across England's matches over that period there were 22 yellows in total; across Czechia's matches, 26. The bet is Total Yellow Cards - Under 3.5.
🚀 Player statistic bet
Harry Kane has scored three goals in his last two Nations League matches. One of them came in Prague, where the England captain added a late finish against Czechia in the second half. Kane also scored against Czechia at Wembley in 2019. In Rijeka he played 70 minutes and managed a brace. The bet is Kane to Score.
😱 Risky bet
The bet here is that Czechia's response will come after the break. Away from home in the second half, they have scored in five consecutive matches. England have shown a vulnerability there already: in the opening round, Spain scored twice at Wembley in the second half. The risk is genuine - at home, England have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches. But if you are looking for a longer price that fits the broader prediction, this is where it is. The bet is Czechia to Score in the Second Half at 3.00*.
🎯 Reliable bet
The second half at Wembley is England's time. At home they have scored after the break in 10 of their last 11 matches. Czechia have conceded in the second half six times in a row. The bet is England to Score in the Second Half at 1.24*.
👀 If the match doesn't follow the script
The likely scenario is England winning with Czechia getting at least one goal back. An early England goal could change that. It would force the visitors to open up and give England space to attack. In that case, keep in mind for in-play betting an England win by more than one goal and bets against goals at both ends. The signal to watch for is England taking the lead inside the first half-hour with Czechia creating nothing before the break.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
📌 Editorial Prediction
England's Nations League matches are rarely low-scoring: at least three goals combined have been recorded in 6 of their last 7. At home, England themselves have scored at least two in 11 of their last 12. That means the visitors only need one goal to push the total over the line. And Czechia do score on the road - they found the net in 8 of their last 9 away matches. We're expecting a home win, but not a clean sheet. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
