Czech Republic U21 vs England U21 Preview and Team News

Czech Republic U21 Team News

The Czech Republic probably got the toughest start in the tournament. This may actually be a repeat of the 2023 edition. Back then, England managed to beat their opponents with a 2-0 score.

This will be the tenth appearance for the Czechs in the final part of the competition, having won the title in 2002. However, since then, the national team have struggled and crashed out of the group stage on their previous four occasions.

The main threat will probably come from Famalicao’s forward Vaclav Sejk, who was the Czech Republic’s top scorer with four goals. Hamburger’s Adam Karabec is also a prominent player and will have a massive role in the midfield.

Czech Republic U21 predicted lineup vs England U21: (3-4-2-1): Horníček; Chaloupek, Prebsl, Koželuh; Višinský, Vydra, Karabec, Daněk; Stránský, Fila; Sejk.

England U21 Team News

England will approach the tournament as the title-holders. In 2023, they were significantly better than other teams and eventually claimed the trophy. Despite having won only one of their last four meetings, they are still heavy favourites to win.

England were also formidable during the qualifying stage. In Group F, they netted 41 goals, which was more than any other side. Finishing first will be Lee Carsley’s priority, but with Germany in the group, they’ll need to put in some effort.

Brighton’s Jack Hinshelwood had a tremendous season with Brighton, and Jobe Bellingham’s Sunderland were promoted to the Premier League. Both are expected to start and play a key role in the team.

Czech Republic U21 vs England U21 Prediction 

• Pick: England to Win
• Odds: 1.58 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Czech Republic U21 vs England U21

The winners of the previous U21 edition will seek to start their campaign with a convincing victory. England might have the strongest squad in the tournament, and against the struggling Czech Republic, they are the favourites.

If we take a look at the H2H stats, the guests have won on the previous four occasions. There is a massive difference in the quality of players, and the nominal hosts will have a tough time against their opponents.

We expect a one-sided display, and Lee Carsley’s men should be able to emerge victorious without problems. Therefore, we suggest picking England to win.

Czech Republic U21 vs England U21 Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)

The visitors have been dominant in the attack, and their stats prove that. Out of their last 15 appearances, 12 ended with at least three goals. There are players in the squad like Harvey Elliott, Jobe Bellingham and Ethan Nwaneri, who have been starters in their respective clubs as well.

The Czech Republic prefer more physical play, but can also create moments against England. Thanks to tall players, they will have chances on set pieces and in aerial duels.

Thursday’s game promises excitement, and we think fans will see a productive performance. Thus, our second pick is over 2.5 goals.
