Jablonec vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction: Plzen have a better chance

The Stadion Střelnice is set to host the quarterfinal Czech Cup clash between Jablonec and Viktoria Plzen. Let's delve into this matchup and make a prediction.

In their recent matches, Jablonec secured just one victory, notably against Slovácko. However, they faced defeats against Viktoria Plzeň and Bohemians 1905, with two matches ending in draws against Slovan Liberec and Hradec Králové. Throughout these fixtures, Jablonec managed to score 6 goals while conceding 8 within the same period. On average, Jablonec scored 5 goals per match in the current league season.

After their recent defeat against Slovan Liberec in the First League match, Viktoria Plzeň and their traveling fans are hoping for a better outcome in their upcoming game. In the previous match, Viktoria Plzeň held 58% possession and attempted 18 shots on goal, with 6 of them hitting the target. Idjessi Metsoko (67') was the scorer for Viktoria Plzeň. Conversely, Slovan Liberec had 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, and Matěj Chaluš (64') scored for them. Under Miroslav Koubek's management, Viktoria Plzeň has scored a total of 10 goals in their last six matches, while conceding only 6 goals during the same period.

Examining both teams, the home team is currently experiencing difficulties in contrast to the visiting team, which has only recently suffered a single defeat among numerous matches. Due to disparities in player quality and playing style, it is anticipated that Plzen will emerge victorious in a match that is likely to feature numerous goals, akin to their previous encounters.
