Czechia and South Africa meet in Atlanta on Thursday as both sides seek their first points of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The match kicks off at 17:00 BST with Czechia coming off a 2-1 defeat to South Korea on matchday one. Defender Jaroslav Zeleny noted the physical challenge ahead, saying the conditions in Atlanta remain demanding even without direct sun.
South Africa arrive after a 2-0 loss to Mexico in which they finished with nine players. Head coach Hugo Broos described the result as a wake-up call and said his team missed experience in that environment.
Predicted lineups include Patrik Schick for Czechia and Lyle Foster for South Africa. Coverage is scheduled on BBC One in the UK.
