Latest Czech vs Faroe Islands team information
The Czech Republic are waiting to see if Vladimir Coufal can recover from a hamstring injury in time to feature in this weekend's game. The West Ham right-back has missed the last five club games but has been called up to the national team. If Coufal is not fit, David Doudera could be tasked with filling in at right-back, alongside Tomas Holes, Ladislav Krejci and Matej Jurasek in a back four.
Tomas Soucek – also of West Ham – is likely to captain the midfield, supported by Pavel Sulc and Lukas Cerv. Up front, Patrik Schick – who has scored 20 goals in 42 caps – is almost certain to lead the line, and could be supported by Vaclav Cerny and either Vasil Kusej or Lukas Provod.
For the Faroe Islands, coach Hakan Klakstein is likely to continue using the three-man central defense as in his first two matches as captain. Odmar Faero, Gunnar Vatnhamar and Andrias Edmundsson could keep their places in the center of defense, while Jann Benjaminsen and Viljormur Davidsen take on the two wing-back roles.
The experienced duo of Hallur Hansson and Brandur Hendriksson will carry the load in midfield, while the three names in attack – Meinhard Olsen, Petur Knudsen and Arni Frederiksberg – will be expected to make a difference, despite only scoring a combined three goals for the team.

Latest football commentary Czech vs Faroe Islands
After a disappointing Euro 2024 group stage – finishing bottom with just one point from three games – the Czech Republic bounced back impressively by winning promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League late last year.
Under the guidance of coach Ivan Hasek, the team has collected 11 points after 6 matches (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) to top Group B1, above Ukraine, Albania and Georgia. In their most recent match in mid-November, they defeated Georgia 2-1 at home.

Czechia have an impressive home record: they have lost just one of their last 18 games in all competitions (W13 D4), winning all seven of their last five and scoring 15 goals. Ranked 42nd in the FIFA rankings, they are well placed to claim victory this weekend, especially as they have won all seven of their previous encounters with the Faroe Islands, scoring at least two goals in each game and never conceding.
Hasek and his players' goal is to get off to a good start in the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign – a tournament they are trying to return to after last participating in 2006.
On the other side of the front line, the Faroe Islands enter 2024 after a 10-game winless streak last year. They finished bottom of the Baltic Cup in June and only avoided relegation to League C of the Nations League at the end of the year thanks to a win over Armenia in their final match.
Eydun Klakstein, a former U17 and U21 coach, was appointed as head coach after Hakan Ericson left the national team after five years in charge, and he led the team to a 1-0 away win over Armenia in November.
Faroe Islands are currently ranked 137th in the world according to FIFA, and are still struggling with the attack, having scored two or more goals in just one of their last nine matches (W1 D3 L5). Notably, eight of those opponents are ranked lower than Czechia.
Traveling to Hradec Kralove, the away team also cannot bring much confidence when they have not won in the last 9 away World Cup qualifiers, and have only won 3 of the last 29 away matches in all competitions in the past 5 years.
