CZR vs ENG Dream11: England will now be back in action later tonight as they square off to Czech Republic for a Group D fixture in the Euro 2020. Both sides have four points each to their names, and will be aiming to conclude the group stages on a positive note.
England kicked off their campaign with 1-0 win against Croatia, courtesy the winner by Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling. The next game, however, was a goalless draw to rivals Scotland. Gareth Southagate and his men were questioned for their display on the night, as he could opt for a change in personnel in his starting eleven this time around. Meanwhile, Czech Republic, started off their season with a 2-0 win to Scotland, while, the next game to Croatia ended on level terms by 1-1.
That being said, we can expect an intriguing 90 odd minutes of football between the two quality sides.
Date: June 23, Thursday Kick-Off: 12:30 AM (IST) Venue: Wembley Stadium
The game will be broadcasted live on the Sony Sport Network, and can be streamed on Sonly Liv and Jio TV.

Captain Options
All eyes could be on Jadon Sancho if he starts tonight for England, and the odds in favor of him to score a goal are 13/2. The Dortmund star man had yet another impressive season in the Bundesliga with eight goals and 11 assists from 26 appearances.
Patrik Schick will be the usual danger man from Czech Republic’s camp. The 25-year-old has registered three goals from the previous two games. The odds in favor of Schick to get a goal are 11/4.
Differential Picks
Jack Grealish can play a pivotal role in the midfield region for England. Grealish bagged six goals and 10 assists from 26 appearances last season for Aston Villa, while, maintaining a pass accuracy of over 80%.
Tomas Soucek has impressed in the central midfield region for Czech Republic. He has a pass accuracy of 84% and can also intercept the ball fairly well. Soucek had 10 goals and an assist from the 38 games for West Ham last season.
Although Harry Kane is yet to score a goal in the tournament, he can still a pose a major goal threat. Having Kane in the Fantasy Team could be ideal, since he is majorly in charge of set pieces.
GK: J Pickford DEF: B Chilwell, J Stones, J Boril, V Coufal MID: J Sancho, T Soucek, V Darida, J Grealish FOR: H Kane, P Schick
This could turn out to be closely contested game, and it result could go in either sides favor by a narrow margin. However, the CZR vs ENG Today Match Prediction odds are in favor of England to get the win by 1 /2 as per bet365.
