Viktoria Plzen vs Mlada Boleslav Prediction: Both teams looking to return to winning ways

Doosan Arena will host the round 10 encounter between Viktoria Plzen and Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Fortuna Liga. Heading into this game, the two teams could only settle for a draw in their respective matches. Will there be a winner in this game?

Viktoria Plzen

The last time out, Viktoria Plzen played Eintracht Frankfurt and settled for a 3-3 draw on the road. In that game, the first half ended 1-1, with Pael Sulc scoring in the 41st minute to put Viktoria Plzen in the game. However, after conceding twice in the 62nd and 67th minute, Viktoria Plzen needed two last minute strikes from Prince Kwabena Adu and Vaclav Jemelka, which were enough to salvage a point for Viktoria Plzen. However, Viktoria Plzen's last league game came against Slavia Prague, and they lost 3-0. Heading into this game, Viktoria Plzen have 17 points from their first eight matches of the season, positioning them third in the standings. 

Mlada Boleslav

Mlada Boleslav’s last league game was against FK Pardubice, and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, conceded just 8 eight minutes into the game, with Tomas Xlatohlavek scoring for FK Pardubice's side. However, Tomas Ladra leveled the score for Mlada Boleslav before the break, and three minutes into the second half, Vasil Kusej put them in the lead. However, a 65th-minute strike by Ladislav Krobot ensured FK Pardubice level the scores. Heading into this game, Mlada Boleslav have failed to win any of their last league matches, with one other coming in a defeat to Slavia Prague. In eight league matches, Mlada Boleslav have 10 points, leaving them seated 11th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams did not have luck in their last league matches, but I feel Viktoria Plzen have a chance to win this one. With a fully fit first eleven expected to be fielded by the home team, I feel they are in the advantage of winning, looking at how the previous meetings between these sides have ended. Also, with Boleslav expected to show some strong offensive play, I am backing them to also find the back of the net.
