Portugal have their sights set on top spot and a place in the Nations League finals ahead of their penultimate Group A2 game in the Czech Republic.
Fernando Santos’ side go into the game one point behind leaders Spain, while the Czechs are fighting for survival, sitting one point above bottom side Switzerland.
Their meeting in June ended in a 2-0 win for Portugal thanks to first-half strikes from Joao Cancelo and Goncalo Guedes.
The Portuguese got off to a strong start, drawing in Spain before racking up back-to-back wins against the Swiss and the Czechs.
But their hopes of clinching top spot suffered a blow in their final game of the June internationals, a 1-0 defeat away in Switzerland.
Czech Republic also started well, beating the Swiss and drawing with Spain, but they then lost 2-0 to Portugal and Spain to all-but end their hopes of a surprise group victory.
Their home record is certainly a cause for optimism though; Jaroslav Silhavy’s side are unbeaten in their last seven outings on Czech soil.
Portugal will be looking to hit top form this month, with World Cup 2022 fast approaching.
Santos’ talented Portugal squad is shaping up nicely, but he has some issues to contend with.
Veteran defender Pepe pulled out with injury during the week, while Joao Felix and Bernardo Silva have trained separately as they bid to reach full fitness.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in there alongside Manchester United team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot.
But Renato Sanches and Otavio miss out through injury, while there was no space for Guedes, Andre Silva or Joao Moutinho.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Nations League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
