Národní tým made it two wins on the spin on Friday with a comfortable 2-0 home triumph over Albania. Tomáš Chorý bagged a brace and West Ham United defender Vladimír Coufal picked up an assist.

Ukraine vs Czech Republic Prediction
The Blue and Yellow returned to winning ways after three games on Friday and will look to build on that momentum. They are winless in their last two meetings against the visitors, though both games were away from home.
Dmytro Riznyk left the training camp due to an injury and has returned to his club. Serhiy Rebrov only has Anatoliy Trubin and Georgiy Bushchan as the two goalkeepers at his disposal for this match.
After a crushing defeat in their campaign opener to Georgia, the visitors have won two games in a row, scoring five goals. They are on a five-game losing streak in their travels in the Nations League, scoring just twice, and will look to improve upon that record.
Both teams registered wins last week and will look to continue that form. Considering the visitors' better goalscoring form and better recent record in this fixture, Czechia should be able to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Ukraine 1-2 Czech Republic
