Viktoria Plzen vs FK Pardubice Prediction: The home team will return to winning ways

Doosan Arena will host the Czech First League game between Viktoria Plzen and FK Pardubice. Heading into this game, the two teams could not secure a win. How will this game end?

Viktoria Plzen were held to a goalless draw last time out by Ludogorets in the UEFA Europa League and will look to do better here. However, that draw was Viktoria Plzen’s third in a row, having drawn Eintracht Frankfurt and Mlada Boleslav, games that ended 3-3 and 1-1. Heading into this game, Viktoria Plzen have failed to win any of their last four matches. Yet, this team has 18 points from their first nine matches of the season, leaving them seated 3rd.

FK Pardubice lost to Teplice last weekend in the league, a game that ended 0-1. In that game, Roman Cerepkai’s lone goal was the difference, securing maximum points for their opponent. In the meantime, the visiting team has had two wins in their last five matches, coming against Hradec Kralove and Aritma Prague in games that ended 2-1 and 0-3. However, they lost to Slavia Prague while they drew Mlada Boleslav. 

Viktoria Plzen should win this game with ease, and I am backing them with confidence. While FK Pardubice have been inconsistent this season, they are not a fit for Viktoria Plzen, looking at the quality in the hosts’ favor. Take the home team to win with many goals, an encounter where the home team will win with a good margin.
