The Czech Republic national football team will host the Denmark national football team on Tuesday evening in Prague in the European playoff final for a place at the FIFA World Cup.

The match marks the conclusion of the European playoff stage, with 12 nations already securing qualification out of 16 available spots. 

Among the teams that have already booked their places are England, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands, along with Croatia, Norway, Switzerland, Scotland, Austria, and Belgium.

The Czech Republic will look to capitalize on home advantage and strong fan support, entering the match on an impressive 17-game unbeaten run.

The team is determined to secure a long-awaited return to the World Cup after a 20-year absence.

Their path to the final included a dramatic clash against Ireland, where they staged a comeback before ultimately advancing via a penalty shootout. 

Set pieces have been a key strength throughout their campaign, with the team scoring eight goals from dead-ball situations, the highest tally in European qualifying.

Denmark, meanwhile, arrives with high confidence following a dominant 4-0 victory over North Macedonia, a result that underlined its readiness for the decisive encounter. 

The Danish side is aiming to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time, a historic milestone it has yet to achieve.

Denmark also holds the psychological edge in recent meetings, having remained unbeaten in its last seven matches against the Czech Republic since 2004.
