Czech Republic: Form and Statistics

Form: WLWWW

After going four matches without a win, recording three losses and a solitary draw, the Czech Republic have managed to find their footing and are now one of the best-performing teams on the international stage. 

So far, they have lost just one of their last ten matches while winning seven of those outings (D2). This impressive display includes a run in the UEFA Nations League, where they finished with a five-match unbeaten run. Their last match in that competition was a 2-1 victory against Georgia, which saw them finish at the top in Group B1 and seal promotion to League A.

It's without a shadow of doubt that Ivan Hasek's men head into this clash riding high on confidence. In their most recent match, they beat Montenegro 2-0 in the World Cup qualifiers to make it four wins out of five games.

Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win against North Macedonia in a friendly game. Firas Al Buraikan and Abdullah Al Hamdan were on target for their team.

That victory couldn't have come at a better time following their setback in the Concacaf Gold Cup. It was their first appearance in the competition. They finished second in Group D and advanced to the knockout stages.

However, they were met with tough opposition in the quarter-finals—Mexico, the ten-time Concacaf Gold Cup champions. In that match, they suffered a convincing 2-0 defeat.

Saudi Arabia: Team News

Saudi Arabia has no injury concerns heading into this clash. Head coach Herve Renard should be able to field a strong starting lineup. 

We might see the same starting lineup that beat North Macedonia recently. This means a 4-3-3 formation will be the preferred setup in this upcoming encounter. Firas Al Buraikan will lead the attack, while Abdulrahman Al Oboud and Mohammed Abu Al Shamat will provide support from the wings.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Al Sanbi; Al Nasser, Sulaiman, Tambakti, Al Harbi; Kanno, Al Khaibari, Al Juwayr; Abu Al Shamat, Al Buraikan, Al Oboud. 

⛔️ Out: None.

👤 Head coach: Herve Renard.

Czech Republic vs Saudi Arabia match prediction 08 September 2025

Czech Republic have been at the top of their game, and it's difficult to bet against them in this upcoming encounter, especially with home advantage at their disposal. With seven wins from their last ten matches, I'm expecting nothing but a comfortable win from them in this one.

Saudi Arabia are struggling with inconsistency and could find themselves behind an unfavorable outcome in this one. Their last home match ended in a 2-0 defeat, and the same outcome happened in their last fixture against Czech Republic. That said, expect them to suffer a convincing defeat.
