Team news & rosters

The Czech Republic is one of the four teams that was promoted to League A after the 2020-21 Nations League, when the team won its League B group over Scotland, Israel and Slovakia, with four wins and two losses in six games.

So far in 2022, the Czech Republic has played two matches, losing to Sweden in World Cup qualifying and then drawing Wales in a friendly. The team missed out on qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, marking the fourth World Cup in a row that the team has missed.

Tomas Soucek is the team’s captain. The West Ham United defensive midfielder has made 48 appearances on the national team, with nine goals.

Predicted Czech Republic starting XI: Zima, Brabec, Petrasek, Coufal, Lingr, Soucek, Kalvach, Jankto, Hlozek, Kuchta; Vaclík

Switzerland has played a pair of friendlies this year, losing to England and drawing Kosovo. Before that, the team ended 2021 with wins in three of its final four matches, all of which were World Cup qualifiers. That performance will send the team to its fifth consecutive World Cup.

The Swiss side made the semifinals in the first Nations League, but didn’t do as well last year, finishing third in its group and just barely missing out on being relegated to League B.

Switzerland is captained by Granit Xhaka, who plays as a midfielder for Arsenal. He’s made 100 appearances for Switzerland’s senior team, which puts him sixth on the all-time list. One active player, Xherdan Shaqiri, is ahead of him with 102 caps.

Projected Switzerland starting XI: Rodríguez, Frei, Akanji, Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Vargas, Shaqiri, Steffen, Embolo; Omlin
