Odds quoted in this analysis are as of 27.09 at 09:54 UTC
England have won two of the three meetings with Czechia, and both were comfortable: 5-0 in March 2019 and 1-0 at the Euros in June 2021. The Three Lions are priced at 1.41 for the away win, around 67%, and over the past day the market has drifted against the hosts, with Czechia pushed out from 6.66 to 7.16. Both sides opened the Nations League campaign without a point, but Czechia sit fourth in the group, below England, and are expected to defend deep against a far stronger attack.
Czechia did take the only home meeting between the pair, winning 2-1 in October 2019, so their own ground is no empty formality here. The main problem is a technical one: with the England -1 handicap, a win by exactly one goal only returns the stake, and that scoreline comes up more often than any other in an away qualifier. Even so, we're backing England -1.
Where we could be wrong
Nothing in our data argues against this bet: neither the vote split nor any estimate on this page points to a different outcome.
