Preview
Brazil are used to travelling Europe to seek out friendly competition, and the Czech's should provide a good test on their own patch.
Manager Tite is preparing his team for the 2019 Copa America this summer, which is set to take place in Brazil.
The home advantage means hopes will be running high for the Brazilians, and the fine-tuning must be precise before the tournament begins on June 14.
Tite fielded a strong side against Panama, featuring Roberto Firmino, Casemiro and Philippe Coutinho, but a lack of fluidity allowed their lowly-ranked opponents to grab a draw.
The Czech's will be forced to improve in Euro 2020 qualifying if they wish to finish in the top two of Group A.
England should top the standings in the group, but the presence of Montenegro and Bulgaria that could make it difficult to qualify.
The 5-0 loss at Wembley has quickly ruined the Czech goal difference, and their lack of a threat in front of goal could be exposed again in Prague.
This is not the vintage Czech squad of previous incarnations, and despite their world ranking of No. 44, they are a team looking for new stars to integrate.
However, they still possess an experienced core. Brazil will need to move through the gears to penetrate their defence.
England demonstrated how the Czechs are concerned by pace. Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus both featured against Panama, and the Premier League attackers have the movement to unlock the door in the forthcoming friendly.
