England can qualify for Euro 2020 with a win over the Czech Republic in Group A on Friday night.
Gareth Southgate’s side have won their first four matches, scoring five times in three of those fixtures and most recently beat Kosovo 5-3 in an enthralling match.
The reverse fixture at Wembley ended 5-0 to the Three Lions as Raheem Sterling netted his first international hat-trick and the England faithful will be hoping for another straightforward victory in Prague.
Czech Republic vs England Latest Odds
bet365 offer 9/20 (1.45) that England qualify for Euro 2020 by making it five wins from five games.
Czech Republic won their last competitive home clash against the Three Lions, albeit that was back in 1975, and are 7/1 (8.0) to repeat the trick here. The draw can be backed at 10/3 (4.33).
Czech Republic vs England Team News
England could hand competitive debuts to the likes of Tyron Mings, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham. Tom Heaton and Fabian Delph have withdrawn from the squad due to injury whilst James Maddison is ill.
Filip Novak, David Hovorka and David Pavelka are all injured for the hosts, who could hand a debut to defensive midfielder Lukas Kalvach.
Czech Republic vs England Preview
England have not lost a competitive game within 90 minutes since a 2-1 home loss to Spain in September 2018, winning six of their nine fixtures in normal time since then.
As well, the Three Lions have been in fine goalscoring form during that time, scoring 28 times and keeping 10 clean sheets, so will certainly fancy their chances of seeing off the Czech Republic on Friday night to reach the finals.
Whilst Jaroslav Silhavy’s men do sit second in Group A after a 3-0 win in Montenegro last month, they lost 2-1 in Kosovo just days before that.
Czech Republic vs England Tips and Predictions
England have not struggled for goals in Euro 2020 qualifying and bet365 offer 5/6 (1.83) that the net is found before the 27th minute on Friday night.
This would have paid out in all four of England’s four Group A games as well as in four of the Czech Republic’s five.
