Czech football team takes on Slovenia in World Cup qualifier

The Czech football team will take on Slovenia on Saturday evening in Maribor for a key World Cup qualification match. Much of the pre-match attention has been on whether Czech striker Milan Baroš will lead the attack after the manager’s comments that his place was not certain. The two teams are both among a group of four countries with seven points so far with group leaders Slovakia on nine. The Czech Republic won the home game against Slovenia 1 – 0 in October.
