Viktoria Plzen vs Mlada Boleslav Prediction: Expect goals from both sides

Doosan Arena will host this game one championship group encounter between Viktoria Plzen and Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Fortuna Liga. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Viktoria Plzen are coming off a 3-0 win over Teplice in the last league game. In that encounter, we witnessed a goalless first half and a second-half brace from Tomas Chory, and in the 68th minute, Matej Vydra’s strike was what this side needed to power themselves to a victory. In the meantime, Viktoria Plzen have won consecutive 3-0 games, the first being a semifinal cup encounter against Zlin. In the league, Viktoria Plzen are seated in the 3rd spot, and a place in Europe now looks very certain with 62 points from 30 matches.

Mlada Boleslav settled for a 1-1 draw with Jablonec last Sunday. Thanks to a last-minute strike by Yusuf, Mlada Boleslav could avoid a defeat, having been behind since the 19th minute of the game. However, a look at Mlada Boleslav's recent games showed they won two, coming against Zlin and FK Pardubice. However, they drew one against Sparta Prague while losing to Teplice. In those matches, Mlada Boleslav scored seven goals while conceding six.

The last five meetings between these sides ended in four wins for Viktoria Plzen, while Mlada Boleslav did not win any. However, their last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw.

It is clear that Viktoria Plzen are favorites on paper and have a better chance of winning, looking at this fixture's form and history. However, Mlada Boleslav have been excellent in front of goals in recent weeks, scoring and also conceding. Therefore, while a win for Plzen is good, a choice of bet on goals is the best result here.
