Eintracht vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction: We have the right to expect a high performance

Prediction for the UEFA Europa League Eintracht vs Viktoria Plzen match which will take place on September 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Eintracht has steadily approached the elite of German football in recent years. The Eagles finished sixth in last year's Bundesliga but could not challenge for a Champions League spot as they finished 16 points outside the top five. They did, however, qualify directly for the Europa League, where they will be crowned champions in 2022. Frankfurt began the new season with a 4:1 cup win over Braunschweig. Eintracht lost 2:0 to Borussia Dortmund in the championship's opening round but beat Hoffenheim 3:1, Wolfsburg 2:1, and Borussia Mönchengladbach 2:0 to finish fourth in the standings.

Viktoria are an excellent team by Czech league standards, but the last time they won the national championship was in the 2021/22 season. Last season, they finished third in the league and qualified for the third round of the Europa League. In the confrontation with Kryvbas, they managed to achieve success - 2:1 and 1:0, after which the Czech team defeated 'Hearts' in the play-off round - 1:0 and 1:0 and got a ticket to the general stage of the competition. The Pilsen side has also had an excellent start to the competition, winning five, drawing two, and losing just once in eight rounds. That is good enough for third place in the standings.

Eintracht is a team that knows how to succeed in the Europa League. The Frankfurt side sensationally won the competition in 2022, and now they are looking to prove themselves on the international stage again. The Eagles are in excellent shape going into their opening match. They have won the last three rounds of the German Bundesliga. Victoria also made a name for itself in the European Cup but cannot boast of such achievements. In the previous round of the national championship, they lost 3:0 to Slavia, which showed the vulnerability of the Czech team. 

We have the right to expect a high performance from the upcoming confrontation. Since the pre-season matches, Eintracht has started to stamp its authority on the game. In the last ten matches involving the Eagles, they scored 46 goals (4.60 per game on average)—a very solid figure that bodes well for another goal-scoring battle. Victoria's statistics are much more modest, but that's unlikely to worry the Germans, who will play their usual attacking football from the first minute.
