Before this match begins, let us review the prediction from Mansion Sports for the Czech Republic vs Denmark lineups in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers below.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic returns to action in Prague on Tuesday aiming to secure a place in their first World Cup since 2006, after failing to qualify in the last four editions of the tournament.

They did enough to earn a playoff place with a satisfactory campaign in the first round of qualification, finishing second in Group L with 16 points from eight matches, winning five of them and suffering only two defeats.

That was concluded with a convincing 6-0 victory over Gibraltar in their final match in November, leaving them needing only two home wins to reach the World Cup group stage, before facing a semifinal against the Republic of Ireland last week under new coach Miroslav Koubek, who took charge in December.

Narodak fell behind twice in that match, first equalizing in the first half through Patrik Schick before falling behind again 2-1 with five minutes remaining, but they forced extra time thanks to an equalizer from Ladislav Krejci, before playing goalless in the additional 30 minutes and ultimately winning through a penalty shootout as Matej Kovar made two saves and Jan Kliment scored the decisive penalty.

Now facing another home match with the opportunity to return to the world stage for the first time since being eliminated in the 2006 group stage, the Czech Republic will aim to secure a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions and a third in qualification in the most important match on Tuesday.

However, they face a difficult test as the visitors arrive in the final with momentum from a convincing semifinal victory.

Denmark

In contrast to the hosts, Denmark began the European qualification campaign targeting a third consecutive World Cup appearance, after reaching the round of 16 in 2018 before failing to progress from the group stage in 2022.

They had to settle for second place in Group C and failed to qualify automatically for the summer tournament after collecting 11 points from six matches and losing the decisive away match against Scotland in their final game, forcing them into a playoff semifinal against North Macedonia.

The team coached by Brian Riemer overcame that challenge in style last week, winning 4-0 despite being goalless in the first half, as Mikkel Damsgaard opened the scoring, Gustav Isaksen scored two quick goals before the hour mark, and Christian Norgaard sealed the victory 15 minutes before the end.

Denmark now travels to Prague aiming to continue that dominant performance and secure a place in this summer’s World Cup.

Czech Republic vs Denmark Lineups 2026 World Cup Qualifiers

Czech Republic (3-4-3)

The Czech Republic is likely to field a lineup similar to the match against the Republic of Ireland last week, although Tomas Soucek, Michal Sadilek, Stepan Chaloupek, and Jan Kliment are among the players competing for inclusion after appearing from the bench in that match.

Key winger Vaclav Cerny cannot be included in the playoff squad due to injury, but Pavel Sulc provides another attacking threat after scoring 11 goals in 22 Ligue 1 appearances with Lyon this season.

Krejci of Wolverhampton Wanderers remains a key figure in defense and will wear the captain’s armband, while Schick serves as the main attacking threat with 25 international goals from 51 appearances.

Denmark (4-2-3-1)

Denmark is unlikely to change the lineup from the 4-0 semifinal victory on Thursday, after dealing with several squad selection issues with Kasper Schmeichel, Andreas Christensen, Rasmus Kristensen, Patrick Dorgu, and Jannik Vestergaard absent due to injury.

Philip Billing, Yussuf Poulsen, and Andreas Skov Olsen are also unavailable, although Brian Riemer has the option to restore key defender Joachim Andersen after missing the semifinal due to suspension.

With the absence of players such as Vestergaard and Christensen, Andersen is likely to return to the starting lineup, while Rasmus Hojlund of Napoli will lead the attack with support from Damsgaard and Isaksen, who scored their fifth and sixth international goals in the last match.

This match will be a crucial moment for both teams to prove their quality at the highest level. The team that is better prepared mentally and tactically will determine the path toward the 2026 World Cup.
