England are on a three-game winning streak, with their most recent result a 3-0 victory over Czechia on Tuesday 6 October. That win featured a first-half own goal and two strikes from Harry Kane, and it followed a stunning 7-0 away win against this same Croatian side just three days earlier. Jude Bellingham, who leads England with seven goals this season from eight appearances, was instrumental in that rout, scoring once and providing three assists.
Recent dominance
The head-to-head record heavily favours England heading into this home fixture. The comprehensive 7-0 win earlier in October saw contributions from across the squad, with Kane scoring twice and Bukayo Saka also netting a brace. That result will provide a significant psychological boost as the teams prepare to meet again at Wembley. England's recent results show a sequence of a 3-2 loss to Spain, a 2-0 win over Czechia, the 7-0 win in Croatia, and the 3-0 victory over Czechia.
England's recent form shows three wins from their last four matches, with the only defeat a narrow 3-2 loss to Spain on Saturday 26 September. The team has scored twelve goals across those three victories, with Jude Bellingham's goal contributions coming in just 67 minutes of play on average.
Looking ahead
The manager has recently favoured a 4-2-3-1 formation, which proved effective in the wins over Czechia and Croatia. The upcoming schedule sees England enter a key phase of Nations League fixtures, with this match key for their position in the group. The next fixture is against Croatia at home on Thursday 12 November.
The match kicks off at 19:45 local time on November 12. England's next fixture after this is also against Croatia, completing this double-header in the competition.
