Czech Republic – Albania Predictions and Preview

  • The Czech Republic is looking to build on its momentum in the second round of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) after defeating Ukraine 3-2 in Prague last time out. This victory not only ended a four-game losing streak (1 draw, 3 losses), including a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Georgia on matchday one, but also relieved some pressure from manager Ivan Hašek, whose position seemed to be in danger.
  • After some criticism of the home supporters after the Ukraine game, the Czechs hope that more of their own fans will attend to cheer them on as they welcome Albania looking for back-to-back competitive wins for the first time since November 2021. The Czechs should be confident after winning each of their last six matches on home soil, although the streak started after a 1-1 home-to-home draw in Prague last September.
  • Albania has had a similar start to the UNL campaign in Group B1 as their hosts, only in the reverse order. They first beat Ukraine — curiously in Prague — and then lost to Georgia. They appear well-positioned to respond here having enjoyed recent home-to-home wins. Before the aforementioned draw, they also beat the Czechs 3-0 last October, which was crucial in securing their passage to Euro 2024.
  • Their latest win over Ukraine is part of a four-match unbeaten run in competitive away matches (W2, D2). Interestingly, eight of the 11 goals they scored during this run came after the break, which could make for an interesting second half at the very least here.
  • Players to watch: Pavel Šulc has scored four of his last five goals for club and country before the break, including his brace against Ukraine. This contest will take place at Sparta Prague’s epet ARENA — the home stadium of Albania’s Qazim Laci. He has scored three of his last five goals in the first half, including his opener against Croatia at the Euros.
  • Hot stat: Each of the Czech Republic’s last nine matches have seen both teams find the net.
