Prediction: 0-1
Switzerland
Eden stadium will host Thursday’s Nations League game between Czech Republic and Switzerland. The Czechs missed out on a spot at the 2022 World Cup finals, and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful qualifying campaign. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as important players Patrik Schick, Antonin Barak, and Tomas Holes have all been ruled out with injuries.
The Rossocrociati, on the other hand, impressed in the World Cup qualifiers, with the team finishing the process in top position in Group C, two points clear of European champions Italy. Switzerland are more of a team than Czech Republic, and we predict that they will prove their worth on the field. As for the visiting side, Murat Yakin can count on key players for the Nations League opener, including Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Breel Embolo.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Soucek):
Tomas Soucek is a Czech Republic international who plays for both Slavia Prague and the Czech national team. Soucek is a product of Slavia Prague football academy and after spending several years at the likes of Viktoria Zizkov and Slovan Liberec, he returned to the Sinobo Stadium outfit in the 2017/2018 season.
Tomas Soucek has established himself as a first-team regular at Slavia Prague and he made his debut with Czech Republic on November 15, 2016 in a friendly against Denmark. The 192-cm tall midfielder has 13 caps for Czech Republic U21 team as well.
His main position on the field is defensive midfield, but he is used as central midfielder and centre-back as well. Tomas Soucek was born in Havlickuv Brod on February 27, 1995. His preferred foot is right and his contract with Slavia Prague should expire on June 30, 2024.
Highlighted Team (Switzerland):
While missing the first ever World Cup, Switzerland played at next four, reaching the quarter-finals on three occasions, but they were unable to repeat the success in next six appearances. Nati reached the first knockout stage in 1994, 2006 and 2014, but they couldn’t make the next step.
When it comes to their European Championship appearances, the situation is even worse, as the team only qualified for the 1996, 2004 and 2016 finals, while they automatically qualified for the 2008 tournament together with co-hosts Austria. Switzerland national team of late have profited from the multicultural environment, as they appear to have closed the gap behind top European sides and also adopted a more adventurous style of play.
The new generation is probably the most talented yet, with players like Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Ricardo Rodriguez and Valon Behrami all held in high regard. Nati now have a unique chance to try and reach the closing stages of a major tournament as their key men are either at their peak or will be there in the next couple of years.
