Scotland host the Czech Republic in the Nations League tonight as both teams vie for top spot in their group.
Scotland lead Group 2 of League B, with their seven points from three games keeping them one ahead of the second-placed Czechs.
Jaroslav Silhavy’s side could overtake Steve Clarke’s with a win, however, something they failed to achieve again against the Scots last month as they were beaten 2-1.
It will be a tough task for the visitors against a Scotland team unbeaten in their last seven outings and buoyed by a Euro 2020 play-off semi-final victory over Israel last week – as well as a win against Slovakia on Sunday.
Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture this evening:
When is it?
The game will kick off at 7.45pm BST tonight.
How can I watch it?
The match will air live on Sky Sports Premier League. Subscribers can also stream it on Sky’s website and the Sky Go app.
