The Czech Republic did not perform well at the Euros, which has carried over into their Uefa Nations League campaign.

However, the recent 3:2 home triumph over a very quality Ukraine team has shown some encouraging indicators.

Their main stricker Patrik Schick has been dealing with a hamstring injury this season and has not played many minutes, but he is available for selection in this match against Albania.

One thing to note is that, despite their poor record, the Czech Republic has performed admirably at home, with seven victories and only one defeat against Turkey.

Albania is not in great form either.

Their away display has generated only 1 win, and that was a recent and rare win against Ukraine 1:2.

Notable absentee: Djimsiti

Albania always finds a way to slow down opponents; they have proven that even with the big contenders like Italy.
