Czech Republic and Croatia will lock horns at Fortuna Arena on matchday one of the UEFA Nations League. Our prediction for this League A, Group A3 clash sees us favoring Croatia to win. The visitors' recent form has been impressive, with nine wins from their last 12 competitive matches.
Czech Republic returns to competitive play for the first time since their 3-0 beating at the hands of Mexico in the 2026 World Cup on the 26th of June.
It was unfortunate for them, as they concluded Group A without a win, resulting in their early elimination after finishing at the bottom of the group.
The Representatives will be looking for an improved display this time around in the UEFA Nations League. They are back in the top tier of this competition after securing the top spot in Group B1 in the 2024-25 League B campaign.
Croatia, meanwhile, reached the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup. They were faced with a stern test against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the Round of 32 and lost 2-1.
That outcome marked their first defeat in 12 competitive matches (W9, D2). Regarding their performance in the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League edition, the Croats were behind an impressive display.
Slaven Bilić's men reached the knockout stages and faced France in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, they lost 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw.

Our Czechia vs Croatia Prediction
Czech Republic has been a force to be reckoned with at home. They are currently riding a three-match winning streak. Two of those victories came against lower-ranked FIFA opposition. This time around, they could have a difficult time maintaining their home winning streak as they take on a side they've failed to defeat in four competitive matches.
Croatia's performance has been impressive with five wins in their last six competitive matches. This alone should be a confidence booster as they seek to end their five-match winless away run in the UEFA Nations League. Our Czech Republic vs Croatia prediction: Croatia wins.
