Czechia vs Spain: what’s at stake?
Spain have won all four, scored twelve and are already in the quarter-finals. Luis de la Fuente’s side beat England 3-2 at Wembley, put four past Croatia in Seville, won 3-1 against these opponents in Oviedo and then took three points in Split. The one thing they have not done is keep a clean sheet.
Czechia have the opposite record: played four, lost four, two goals scored and ten conceded. They were beaten 2-0 and 3-0 by England either side of the defeat in Oviedo, and the group is already gone.
What gives Thursday its shape is Sunday. Spain host England in Madrid three days later with top spot on the line — England can still catch them by winning twice — so this is the game De la Fuente can afford to take something off.
Team news and talking points
Lamine Yamal misses this one. The RFEF confirmed on Monday that he will sit out the trip to Prague with a knee injury picked up in Barcelona’s win at Atlético Madrid, with the aim of having him back for England. Mikel Oyarzabal also stays behind with flu, and is likewise expected to return on Sunday. De la Fuente named a 27-man squad that hands first call-ups to Como defender Jacobo Ramón and Real Betis pair Marc Roca and goalkeeper Álvaro Valles, so there will be minutes available. Czechia named no significant absentees that we could verify. The rest of the window is in our international coverage.
Czechia vs Spain prediction
Spain are far better than Czechia and will win in Prague even with two starters missing and one eye on Madrid. But the clean sheet is the part the market is overpricing: this side has conceded in every group game it has played, and Czechia found a goal against them only five weeks ago. A comfortable win that is not a shutout is the likeliest version of Thursday. Prediction: Czechia 1-2 Spain.
