The Scots currently sit second in Group 4, level on points with table-toppers Greece and three points ahead of the third-placed Czech’s.
Pre-match thoughts
Head coach Scot Gemmill believes his players can learn from their draw against Lithuania at Tynecastle.
The Under-21s boss saw a lot of positives during the goalless draw and is confident in his players ahead of Monday’s clash in Czech Republic.
He said: “Our draw against Lithuania showed us plenty of positives but also some things we can learn from. We kept the ball well, we posed a threat throughout the 90 minutes but we were met by an extremely organised unit.
“Overall I was pleased with the players application, on another night we take the chances we created.”
He added: “Against Czech Republic it is another opportunity for the players. We have worked hard as a group this week and yet again we get to give our young players experience they don’t get at club level.”
