Viktoria Plzen vs Sigma Olomouc Prediction: Plzen to return to winning ways

At Doosan Arena, Viktoria Plzen will play Sigma Olomouc in a round 6 encounter of the Czech Fortuna Liga. Last time out, the two teams were held to draws by their respective opponents. Which side will return to winning ways here?

Viktoria Plzen's run of victories ended the last time out against Slovan Liberec in a 1-1 encounter. In that game, Viktoria Plzen needed a 75th-minute strike from Matej Vydra to take a point after a 67th-minute own goal by Marian Tvrdon had put Liberec in the lead. In the meantime, the home team had won six consecutive matches in prior encounters to that draw. However, Viktoria Plzen remain unbeaten in 11 straight matches, with their last defeat coming in early July. 

Sigma Olomouc's last league encounter came against Banik Ostrava, and this team was held to a 2-2 draw. At halftime, Sigma Olomouc took the lead in the 34th minute through Jan Kliment's strike, but Matej Sin leveled it for Ostrava before the break. In the meantime, Matej Sin had his second goal of the day in the 50th minute, and Jan Kliment had to convert from the spot to see Sigma Olomouc avoid a defeat at full-time. In the meantime, Sigma Olomouc's last encounters have ended with two wins, two draws, and one defeat.

Viktoria Plzen have dominated this fixture in recent times, and I expect them to perform at that level here. Last season, the host was among the sides with title-win possibilities, and this season, I expect the same from them. While Sigma Olomouc have been decent lately, I do not expect the home team to have it easy here. Yet, I believe they have a very good shot at winning, looking at the winning chances, a game that should end with goals.
