Czech Republic Form

Czech Republic came to the European Championships in poor form. They played two friendlies that ended in a 4-0 defeat against Italy and a 3-1 win against Albania.

Jaroslav Silhavy’s side started Euro 2020 with a 2-0 win against Scotland. Patrick Schick scored both goals including an effort from the halfway line.

The Czech’s followed up with a 1-1 draw against Croatia with Schick opening the scoring from the penalty spot.

Czech Republic suffered a 1-0 defeat to England in their final group game. They couldn’t find an equaliser after falling behind in the 12th minute.

It looked like a tall order against Netherlands in the Round of 16. The Oranje were reduced to 10 men in the 55th minute however, and they took advantage with Tomás Holes and Schick on target in a 2-0 victory.

Czech Republic Squad & Team News

Goalkeepers: Tomas Vaclik, Jiri Pavlenka, Ales Mandous

Defenders: Jan Boril, Jakub Brabec, Vladimir Coufal, Ondrej Celustka, Pavel Kaderabek, Tomas Kalas, Ales Mateju, David Zima

Jan Boril is available and could reclaim his left back spot ahead of Ales Mateju.

Tomas Holes should continue to partner Tomas Soucek in central midfield.

Silhavy is likely to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation with few changes expected.

Denmark Form

Denmark came into the European Championship having won nine of their previous 11 matches.

Kasper Hjulmand’s side started Euro 2020 with a 1-0 defeat against Finland. Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch, Denmark having 70% possession, 22-1 shots and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg seeing his penalty saved.

The Danes performed well against Belgium but lost 2-1. Yussuf Poulsen opened the scoring in the 2nd minute, they led at half time but couldn’t contain Kevin De Bruyne in the second half.

Denmark beat Russia 4-1 in their final group game. Goals to Mikkel Damsgaard and Yussuf Poulsen made it 2-0 and they finished strong with goals to Andreas Christensen and Joakim Maehle wrapping it up.

The Danish Dynamite kept their scoring boots on with a convincing 4-0 win against Wales in the Round of 16. Kasper Dolberg came into the starting side and scored the first two goals, Joakim Maehle and Martin Braithwaite sealing the deal late on.
