Both Czechia and Ukraine didn't get off to a good start in the 2024/25 Nations League as they suffered defeat on Matchday One.
Czechia lost to Georgia, while Ukraine were defeated by Albania.
Match Preview
Czechia recent form
Czechia were comprehensively beaten a few days ago as Georgia emerged 4-1 winners.
At the European Championships in the summer, they were disappointing as they earned just one point in a group alongside Portugal, Georgia and Türkiye.
They have found the back of the net in each of their last four games, though.
Czechia injury news
Matej Rynes had to be withdrawn just 26 minutes into the Georgia loss and his replacement Jaroslav Zeleny may start this one.
Alex Kral came off at half-time for Lukas Kalvach so the latter may start, too.
Ukraine recent form
Ukraine suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Albania on Matchday One of the Nations League.
They were arguably unlucky not to progress to the knockout stage of the Euros as they earned four points in their group which featured Romania, Slovakia and Belgium.
Ukraine injury news
There are no fresh injury concerns for Ukraine, but influential duo Artem Dovbyk and Mykhaylo Mudryk withdrew from the squad before the first fixture.
Czechia - Player to Watch?
Patrik Schick wasn't at his best in the loss versus Georgia but remains Czechia's best option in the final third to find a goal.
Ukraine - Player to Watch?
Georgiy Sudakov will need to step up his game for Ukraine, especially in the absence of the likes of Mudryk and Dovbyk.
Czechia vs Ukraine - Prediction
Neither side are showing much confidence at the moment and will be happy to just get points on the board, so this one may end as a draw.
