The Group: Spain, Croatia, England and Czechia

Group 3 is one of the strongest in League A. England opened at home to Spain on 26 September and travelled to Croatia on 3 October for a closed-doors game in Rijeka, so check the live table for how those games went. Tonight's match is their final game of the window. In November, they host Croatia on 12 November and play one further group match to finish the campaign.

Only the top two sides advance to the quarter-finals in March 2027, with the finals in June 2027, so every point has weight.

England Preview: World Cup Bronze and a Strong Home Record

England finished third at the 2026 World Cup, beating France 6-4 in the third-place play-off, and they come into the Nations League with Thomas Tuchel firmly in charge. They also defeated Croatia 4-2 in their opening World Cup game, which shows they can beat the strongest opposition.

Wembley will be full for this game, and England have the experience to manage a long window. With a squad full of players used to playing at the highest level, depth should not be a problem.

Czechia Preview: Dangerous Away From Home

Czechia are a side that can cause problems, and England's history against them is a reminder that this is not a foregone conclusion. They face a demanding group that also includes Spain and Croatia, and they will see a trip to Wembley as a chance to take something from a heavyweight. Check the live table for their earlier results.

Head-to-Head: England Ahead, but Not Unbeaten

England have the better record, though Czechia have won in Prague before.

• 22 June 2021: Czechia 0-1 England (Euro 2020)
• 11 October 2019: Czechia 2-1 England (Euro 2020 qualifier)
• 22 March 2019: England 5-0 Czechia (Euro 2020 qualifier)
• 20 August 2008: England 2-2 Czechia (friendly)

That is two wins for England, one for Czechia and one draw. The 2019 defeat in Prague is a reminder of how dangerous Czechia can be on the counter.

Key Battles to Watch

1. England's attack against Czechia's defence. England have scored freely this year, and Wembley should suit them.

2. Czechia's counter-attacks. They can be dangerous on the break, so England need to be careful when pushing forward.

3. England's squad rotation. With games in Rijeka on 3 October and Wembley on 6 October, depth and fitness could matter.

4. Group stakes. With Spain and Croatia in the group, dropped points could prove costly in the race for the quarter-finals.

Prediction: England vs Czechia

England's quality, home advantage and World Cup form make them clear favourites. Our pick is a comfortable England win, though Czechia's counter-attacking threat means they could find a goal. Please gamble responsibly, and only where it is legal.
