Team Analysis
Czech Republic U21 (FIFA Rank: N/A for U21, Senior Rank: 39)
Coached by Jan Suchopárek, Czech Republic U21 qualified as one of the best runners-up, with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their group. They reached the group stage in 2021 but haven’t advanced further since 2002.
Strengths:
Defensive Organization: Czechia conceded 0.8 goals per game in qualifiers, with goalkeeper Vítězslav Jaroš (Liverpool) a standout.
Key Players: Filip Kaloč anchors midfield, while Vasil Kušej and Daniel Fila provide attacking threat, averaging 1.8 goals per game.
Recent Form: Unbeaten in their last three qualifiers, including a 3-0 win over Iceland.
Weaknesses:
Limited Firepower: Czechia’s attack is less prolific than England’s, with only 40% of games exceeding 2.5 goals.
Injury Concern: Adam Gabriel’s potential absence could weaken their defense.
England U21 (FIFA Rank: N/A for U21, Senior Rank: 4)
Managed by Lee Carsley (interim, expected to continue), England U21 are defending champions after winning in 2023 without conceding a goal. They topped their qualifying group with 7 wins and 1 draw, scoring 4.1 goals per game.
Strengths:
Attacking Depth: Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Anthony Gordon lead a lethal attack, with Jaden Philogene adding flair.
Defensive Record: England kept clean sheets in all 2023 U21 EURO matches and 60% of qualifiers, with goalkeeper James Trafford a key figure.
Form: Unbeaten in their last 10 competitive matches, including a 7-0 rout of Azerbaijan.
Weaknesses:
Pressure as Favorites: High expectations could lead to early mistakes if Czechia frustrate them.
Transition Phase: Carsley’s interim status and potential squad rotation may affect cohesion.
Head-to-Head History
Czech Republic U21 and England U21 have met three times in U21 EURO competitions:
Total Matches: 3
England Wins: 3 (Total Goals: 6, PPG: 2.0)
Czech Republic Wins: 0
Draws: 0
Recent Encounter: England won 2-0 in the 2023 U21 EURO group stage (goals from Aaron Ramsey and Emile Smith Rowe).
Goal Trends: 66.7% of matches produced under 2.5 goals, with no BTTS. Average goals per match: 2.0.
Prediction: Czech Republic U21 0-1 England U21
England U21, defending champions, hold the edge with their 3-0 head-to-head record and 4.1 goals per game in qualifiers. Czechia’s organized defense (0.8 goals conceded) may keep it tight, but England’s attacking depth should secure a narrow win at the neutral MOL Arena.
