Mlada Boleslav vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction: confident Pzen hopes to return to winning ways

Městský stadion Mladá Boleslav will be the venue for round 24 of the Czech Fortuna Liga encounter between Mladá Boleslav and Viktoria Plzeň. The two teams suffered a defeat in their last league contest. How will this game unfold? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions.

Mlada Boleslav

Mlada Boleslav played Bohemians in their last game in the MOL Cup and lost. In a 0-2 contest, Dominik Plestil's goal and an own goal by Daniel Marecek were enough to see their opponent secure a win. In the meantime, Mlada Boleslav have won two of their last five matches, two against FK Pardubice and Teplice. However, in their last home matches, Mlada Boleslav have won three matches and lost two. This season, Mlada Boleslav have 34 points from 23 matches, leaving them seated 7th.

Viktoria Plzen

Viktoria Plzen's last game was against Zlin in the MOL Cup round ⅛ and they won after extra time. In a game that ended 1-1 in the regular time, Vaclav Jemelka's strike in the 33rd minute was enough to see this team make it to the extra time after going behind in the first minute. However, goals from Rafiu Durosinmi and a brace from Jan Kopic were enough to see this team make it to the next round. In the meantime, Viktoria Plzen have won three of their last five matches, defeating Ferencvaros and Teplice. Heading into this game, Viktoria Plzen have 49 points from 23 matches, leaving them second in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

League-driven Viktoria Plzen cannot afford to drop points again after struggling at home against Prague. However, Mlada Boleslav's performances have been inconsistent, and they will have to do better here. Yet, I feel this game will not be an easy one for either side, and despite Viktoria Plzen being the better team, being on the road is not a good one for them. I feel the two teams will focus on defensive play, and with Plzen having shown quality, a bet on a few goals is a good one. 

Our first option is a win for Viktoria Plzen with odds at 1.71 on 1Xbet

Our second option is under 2.5 goals with odds at 2.15 on Bet365

Our last option is both teams to score no with odds at 2.10 on Betway
