NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.

Czechia head into this fixture with a mixed recent record, winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their last five matches. Their World Cup campaign ended with a 3-0 defeat to Mexico, and they also lost 2-1 to South Korea. A 1-1 draw with South Africa and back-to-back friendly wins over Kosovo (2-1) and Guatemala (3-1) round out their five-match run. Across those games, Czechia scored seven goals and conceded seven.

Croatia's last five matches show three wins and two defeats. They beat Ghana 2-1 and Panama 1-0 at the World Cup before losing 2-1 to Portugal in the knockout stage. Their summer also included a 4-2 defeat to England and a 2-1 friendly win over Slovenia. Croatia scored six goals and conceded six across the five games.
