- This will be only the second non-competitive encounter between Wales and Czech Republic (including as Czechoslovakia), and first since a goalless draw at the Millennium Stadium in March 2002.
- Wales have only won one of their last eight meetings with Czech Republic in all competitions (including as Czechoslovakia), a 2-1 World Cup qualifying win in March 2021 (D4 L3).
- Including as Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic have only won one of their eight international away games against Wales (D3 L4), a 3-1 European Championship qualifying victory in April 1971.
- Wales are unbeaten in eight matches in all competitions (W4 D4); they haven't enjoyed a longer run without defeat since October 2017 (run of nine).
- After losing 1-0 in extra-time to Sweden last time out, Czech Republic are looking to avoid suffering back-to-back international defeats for the first time since March/June 2021, when one of those defeats was to Wales.
- Wales have only won one of their last six international friendlies (D3 L2), a 1-0 win over Mexico in March 2021. The Dragons have only scored one goal in those six matches.
- Gareth Bale has played 321 minutes of international football for Wales since August 2021, more than he has at club level for Real Madrid in 2021-22 (270). Bale has scored five goals in his last four international matches for Wales, more than he had in his previous 28 such appearances beforehand (four goals).
- Jan Sıkora has scored three goals in his last three internationals for Czech Republic, this despite coming on as a substitute in each of those matches. Sıkora netted a brace in a friendly against Kuwait and once against Estonia in a World Cup qualifier, both in November 2021.
