Czechia needed a penalty shoot-out victory to defeat the Republic of Ireland and set up a date with Denmark in the play-off final to see which one of the pair will make it to the 2026 World Cup this summer.
The Danes breezed through their semi-final against North Macedonia, running out 4-0 winners, with all four goals arriving in the second half, two of which were scored by Gustav Isaksen.
Czechia have only failed to score in one of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers, and both teams have scored in three of their last six matches, including Thursday's play-off semi-final, which ended 2-2.
Both teams have scored in three of Denmark's last four qualifiers, and the Scandinavians have scored at least two goals in six of their seven qualifiers.
The history between these two nations suggests that Denmark are the favourite to win. The Danes have claimed victories in three of the pair's last six head-to-heads, only losing once during that period.
Both teams have scored in each of the last two encounters between these two countries, and two of Denmark's three wins against Czechia have been via a 2-1 scoreline.
Czechia 1-2 Denmark
