When they were most recently in League B, en route to Euro 2025, Wales went unbeaten in a group which also included Croatia, Ukraine and Kosovo.
The target will be to do something similar this time around, though the Czechs are one place above Wales – in 31st compared to 32nd – in the current Fifa rankings.
On paper, Tuesday’s game in Uherske Hradiste is the toughest in the group for Wales, given that Albania are ranked 71st in the world and Montenegro 84th.
When asked whether there may be some opportunities during this campaign to experiment a little, Wilkinson was quick to highlight the Czech Republic’s ranking.
“I think that there’s a job to be done. Experimentation is one thing and getting the job done is another,” she added.
“There’s got to be opportunities for the players. So we’ve got to make sure that I’m seeing everyone, that they’re showing what they can deliver, while at the same time making sure we’re taking care of the work on the pitch first.”
