The match
Both the Czech Republic and England have four points from their first two Group D games. That should be enough to take them into the knockout stages but who will win the group? The Czechs lead England on goal difference at present but winning the group may be a poisoned chalice. Waiting for them in the last sixteen would be the third placed side in the Group of Death. England didn't play at all well against Scotland on Friday. There's no chance of them winning this tournament if they keep playing like that. Harry Kane seems to gone off the boil (thinking of your transfer Harry?) and there was little being created in midfield. Gareth Southgate has a lot of work on his hands to get his team playing well again. Five of their last six games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. They may win the title of the binary kings but a European title is not on its way unless their famed strikers can get their act together.
The Czech Republic have beaten Scotland and then drew with Croatia on Friday thanks to a dodgy penalty. They beat England on their way to these championships but will remember losing 5-0 to England before that in the days when England's strikers did their jobs properly. The Czechs celebrated like they'd won Euro 2020 after earning a point against Croatia. They will need to play better against England than they did in the second half of that game. Four of their last six games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. A bet on that stat coming up in this game looks the wager to make.
Key Statistics
- There have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of the last six England games.
- Four of the last six Czech Republic matches have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.
- England have scored three goals in their last four matches, one being a penalty.
The bet of our experts
It might be time to start a sweepstake on the excuses given for why England aren't playing well. They need a good performance in this match that is for sure. England are struggling for goals but keeping it tight at the back even though they don't know their best line-up. The Czechs have done well so far with four points from two games and that should get them into the last sixteen. Both sides have had plenty of recent games with under 2.5 goals, place a bet on that stat coming up in this match.
