Croatia - Czechia

Croatia and Czechia meet on 15 November 2026 at Opus Arena for the final matchday of their UEFA Nations League A Group 3 campaign. Croatia enters the contest looking to find their footing after a difficult run in the group, including a recent 2-1 defeat to England. The hosts face defensive selection challenges with both Josip Sutalo and Marin Pongracic sidelined due to injury. The expected XI, anchored by Dominik Livakovic and Mateo Kovacic, will aim to replicate the success they found against their visitors earlier this autumn.

Czechia arrives in Croatia navigating a challenging period, having struggled to find the net in recent outings against Spain and England. Their defensive stability will be tested as they manage the absences of the suspended Ladislav Krejci alongside injured duo Robin Hranac and Pavel Sulc. When these sides last met on 26 September 2026, Croatia secured a 2-1 victory. As the group stage concludes, both teams look to end their tournament journey on a positive note.
