My name is Daniel Medina and I will be your host for this match. We will bring you pre-match analysis, score updates and live news here on VAVEL.
Spain: the world champions with a perfect record
The Spain national team, managed by Luis de la Fuente, arrive in Prague with their place in the quarterfinals secured and as group leaders, with 12 points out of a possible 12: they beat England at Wembley, Croatia twice, one of those in Split, and the Czech Republic 3-1. The Spaniards are unbeaten in 42 matches in regulation time, with 33 wins and 9 draws. For this match, De la Fuente is without Lamine Yamal, who has right knee discomfort, and Mikel Oyarzabal, who has the flu, as well as Rodri Hernández, Dani Olmo and Eric García. There will be rotations, with an eye on Sunday’s match against England, which could decide the group lead.
Czech Republic: Santi Denia looks for the group’s first points
The Czech Republic national team, managed by Spaniard Santi Denia, arrive in Prague in last place in Group A3, with four defeats in four matches and no points. Their most recent setback was a 3-0 loss to England, and they had already lost 3-1 to this same Spain on October 3. The Czech side is going through a rough spell, after a World Cup in which they collected just one draw. For this match there are significant absences: Robin Hranáč, Pavel Šulc, Ondřej Lingr, Ondřej Kričfaluši, Michal Sáček and Adam Karabec are injured, and Michal Sadílek is suspended. The good news is the return of Tomáš Souček, Lukáš Provod and David Jurásek.
The match will be played at the epet ARENA

It is the home of Sparta Prague, and tonight it hosts the Czech national team again in a match of contrasts: the hosts look to pick up their first points of the tournament, while the visitors arrive with their place in the quarterfinals already secured.
