These teams played in the same qualification group, and it is interesting that the same was the case with Germany and Israel. England finished the qualification with eight wins, with one loss and a draw each, both in matches with Slovenia, which ended up only third in the group. England, whose squad consists mainly of players from the strongest domestic clubs, except, interestingly, Manchester United, which does not have any players, is the favorite not only because of names like Smith-Rowe from Arsenal, who has already made his debut for the A-selection of "Albion", Curtis Jones, who made his debut for Liverpool's first team four years ago.The second reason is that Lee Carsley's team defeated the Czechs twice in the qualifiers, 3-1 and 2-1, and the third, perhaps the most important, is that the Czech Republic has not won since September of last year, when it defeated Iceland in the first play-off game with 2-1. In the second leg, it was 0-0, and a series of five games without a victory followed. However, it should be said that during that series they managed to remain undefeated against the Netherlands, which is considered one of the favorites for the championship. England have been European champions twice, back in 1982 and 1984, and more recently they have one final from 2009 when they lost to Germany led by Neuer, Ozil, Khedira,Boateng etc. Therefore, bet falls on England picking 3 points.

这两支球队在同一个预选赛小组比赛，有趣的是，德国和以色列的情况也是如此。英格兰队以8胜1负1平的成绩结束了预选赛，两场比赛都是与斯洛文尼亚队的比赛，后者仅在小组中排名第三。英格兰队的球员主要来自国内最强大的俱乐部，有趣的是，除了没有球员的曼联，英格兰队是最受欢迎的球队，这不仅是因为来自阿森纳的史密斯-罗(他已经在“阿尔比恩”a级选拔中首次亮相)，还有四年前在利物浦一线队首次亮相的柯蒂斯-琼斯(Curtis Jones)。第二个原因是，李·卡斯利(Lee Carsley)的球队在预选赛中两次以3-1和2-1击败捷克队。第三个原因，或许也是最重要的原因，是捷克队自去年9月在附加赛第一场比赛中以2-1击败冰岛队以来还没有赢过球。第二回合的比分是0-0，之后连续5场比赛都没有获胜。然而，应该说的是，在那场系列赛中，他们成功地保持了对荷兰队的不败，荷兰队被认为是冠军的热门球队之一。英格兰曾两次获得欧洲冠军，分别是1982年和1984年，最近的一次是2009年，他们在决赛中输给了由诺伊尔、厄齐尔、赫迪拉、博阿滕等人领衔的德国队。因此，赌注落在英格兰取3分。
