Opta stats
- 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.
Are we fielding the 'B' team?
Just been down the ticket office, steady queue for tickets and plenty available
Wales: Hennessey; Mepham, Cabango, Gunter; Thomas, Morrell, Vaulks, Norrington-Davies; Colwill; Matondo, Johnson.
2 current and 2 former Bluebirds in the starting XI, hopefully Mark Harris can get some minutes
Interesting front 3
No Ramsey on the bench? Good thing we’re not playing the final today…
With Sorba Thoman and Norrington-Davies playing is gunter being used at CB?
The selected team might be only the second in Welsh international football to have what?
Two players who's name ends with O?
number of first starts?
The game’s starting soon so I’ll give the answer now - I think I’m right in saying that this side has no one in it who has scored a full international goal (don’t even think they’ve scored an og between them).
Youve got to love Will Vaulks. 3 mins in and should be booked already.😂😂😂
