After beating the Republic of Ireland on penalties, the Czech Republic are now looking to book their place at the 2026 World Cup.
Up next is a play-off final against Denmark, who reached this stage with relative ease.
The Scandinavians thrashed North Macedonia 4-0 on home soil in their semi-final, a commanding display which reflects their strength on the international stage.
But with quality on both sides, this match is incredibly hard to call – and should also be one packed full of entertainment!
Check out our Czech Republic vs Denmark preview below, and as per usual, we have picked out some more sports betting tips based on the latest available football odds.
Czech Republic vs Denmark Preview
For the Czech Republic, this match is massive after suffering plenty of failure in recent years.
Despite being regulars at the European Championship, the Czechs have failed to reach the last four editions of the World Cup, last featuring at the tournament in 2006.
The win over the Irish should serve as a confidence booster ahead of kick-off here, particularly as it extended their unbeaten run to seven matches.
And you have to go back to September 2022 for the last time the Czech Republic lost a football match on home soil!
So Denmark will be wary of their latest opponent, though experience on the big stage could play a significant role here.
The Danes are looking to qualify for a fourth successive World Cup, and are always a nation the big boys are keen to avoid on any stage.
However, Denmark’s previous away match was certainly one to forget.
Brian Reimer’s team famously lost 4-2 to Scotland back in November, a result which secured the Tartan Army’s place at the World Cup and condemned the Danes to the play-offs.
Historically, there is nothing to pick between these teams. In the 12 previous matches, each side won on three occasions, with the other six contests finishing as a draw.
Czech Republic vs Denmark Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Czech Republic vs Denmark Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.84
Each of these teams possesses high-quality operators in forward departments, so the BTTS selection is one which has really caught the eye. The Czech Republic have scored at least once in five of their last six matches, and Denmark achieved the feat in all of their previous six.
Player to score or assist – Mikel Damsgaard @ 2.27
Damsgaard scored in the 4-0 over North Macedonia, extending a hugely impressive run of form. The Brentford playmaker has tallied six contributions (four goals and two assists) in his last six international appearances, with an overall record of eight goals and 11 assists from 39 games. Backing him at better than evens could be a wise move to make.
Patrik Schick to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 1.50
Okay, the odds on offer here are not the best, but a Schick shot on target looks close to a banker. The Bayer Leverkusen star is the Czech Republic’s biggest goal threat, and he scored from the penalty spot in the win over the Republic of Ireland – taking his overall record to 25 goals from 51 appearances.
