**Czechia vs Gibraltar: 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Preview and Prediction**
Czechia and Gibraltar bring their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign to an end when they square off at the Andruv Stadion on Monday. While Gibraltar will be eager to end their losing streak and close out the campaign on a positive note, Jaroslav Kostl’s men need maximum points to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
**Current Form and Recent Results**
Czechia picked up a morale-boosting result ahead of their return to World Cup qualifiers last time out, securing a 1-0 victory over San Marino in a friendly fixture. Kostl’s side now turn their focus back to the qualifiers, where they have struggled recently, failing to win three of their last four games (2 losses and 1 draw), after winning each of their first three matches in Group L.
With 13 points from seven games, Czechia currently sit second in the group standings. They hold a narrow one-point lead over third-placed Faroe Islands, who remain hot on their heels.
On the other hand, Gibraltar’s qualifying campaign has been disappointing. They were left empty-handed once again on Friday, falling 2-1 against Montenegro at the Europa Sports Complex. Scott Wiseman’s side has lost all seven of their games so far, sitting rock-bottom in Group L. A key reason for their struggles has been defensive vulnerability, having conceded 22 goals while scoring just three.
**Czechia vs Gibraltar Head-to-Head and Key Stats**
This will be the second encounter between Czechia and Gibraltar, with Kostl’s men winning the first meeting 4-0 during the reverse fixture in March.
– Czechia are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 competitive games, registering seven wins and three draws since September 2024.
– Gibraltar have failed to win in their last 12 matches across all competitions, losing nine and drawing three since their 1-0 victory over San Marino in October 2024.
– Czechia remain unbeaten in their last 10 competitive home games, claiming eight wins and two draws since September 2022.
**Match Prediction**
Czechia must avoid any slip-ups in Monday’s group finale as they look to clinch second place and secure a playoff spot. Given the clear gulf in quality and depth between the two sides, combined with their contrasting forms, we expect Kostl’s men to get the job done in front of their home supporters.
**Predicted Score:** Czechia 3-0 Gibraltar
