Preview
Czech Republic face Albania in their final warmup match before the Euro 2020 campaign begins.
The Czechs have a difficult group as they face the likes of England, Croatia and Scotland and would aim to begin with a win against Albania to kick-off proceedings.
Jaroslav Silhavy’s side were crushed 4-0 in their last match as Italy had a field day at the office.
Immobile, Barella, Insigne and Berardi; all had their moments in front of goal.
They need to find their winning combination before they start their campaign and would aim to get it against Albania.
Albania come into this one on the back of a goalless draw against Wales. Their defence was tight and would look to repeat the performance.
The Albanians have a rest before they resume their 2022 WC Qualifiers campaign in September.

Prediction: Czech Republic 1-0 Albania
Czech are winless in their last 2 and after a thumping at the hands of Italy, we expect a subdued but credible performance against Albania.
The visitors have form on their back and would look to utilize it.
But we see Czech win due to the quality they possess as a unit and that will help them get the much-required preparation.
