National seven players who started in the starting lineup on Saturday left the team after the match with the Faeroes. Coach Jaroslav Šilhavý had to reorganize the defense and in the end, apparently also considering the opponent, he decided to play with three stoppers. Chances were given to David Zima, Jakub Brabec and Stronati.
There was also a change between the posts, goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka was replaced by Tomáš Vaclík. The halfback positions will be played by Jaroslav Zelený and Douděra, who, like Stronati, will make his first start in the starting line-up of the national team. In the center of the field next to Souček, Michal, the younger of the Sadílk duo, was given priority, Jaromír Zmrhal will be on the left wing and Mojmír Chytil will be at the tip of the attack.
The match in Podgorica will start at 18:00.
The basic composition of the Czech Republic: Vaclík – Zima, Brabec, Stronati – Douděra, Souček, M. Sadílek, Zelený – Černý, Mrhal – Chytil.
