Czech Republic and Moldova meet on Monday evening in what is a winner-takes-all showdown with regards to qualification for Euro 2024.
Just two points separate the second and fourth-placed nations in Group E, the home side only requiring a point and the visitors needing all three.
However, while they suffered just one defeat - away in Albania - in seven games, three draws have cost them and there is still work ahead if they wish to qualify for their eight successive European Championship.
Their only victories in six competitive outings have come against the Faroe Islands, with the home fixture ending 1-0, and it has highlighted the drop off in quality in Jaroslav Silhavy's team.
On a plus note, though, Czech Republic came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw in Poland on Friday evening, with Tomas Soucek netting the equaliser shortly after half time.
