In the home games, as in Thursday’s game, Poland has acted badly lately, comes from 3 consecutive defeats and most worrying is that he always suffered goals in these 3 games, again showing the defensive fragility, as it has left many spaces in his defense and still suffering a lot with the counterattacks.

The team has as its main problem the defensive fragility, since it suffered goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for all competitions, being a team that tries to attack frequently, but ends up leaving many spaces in its defense and suffers a lot with the aerial plays , what should be a problem against the Polish team. Playing as a visitor, the Czech Republic usually has great difficulties against more qualified selections, as is the case of its next opponent, so much that it comes from defeats against Ukraine and Russia, selections of some quality, and victories over the fragile selections of Slovakia and Nigeria, being a team that deprives a lot for the defense in that type of situation, but ends up attacking little. For the match against Poland, coach Silhavy must maintain the line-up that he has been using in the last matches, since a lot of things need to be adjusted in this team and only by repeating the line-up will he be able to give more collective coordination to this team.
