Prediction published on 07/03/2024, 06:09  by Nella Wagah in Conference League Predictions

Servette and Viktoria Plzen will put aside their domestic campaigns to focus on the first leg of their last 16 Conference league faceoff. Hosts Servette are second in the Swiss topflight while Plzen are third in the Czech Liga. Servette went a point behind leaders Young Boys with a 2-0 win over St. Gallen. That marked a sixth straight unbeaten outing for Servette and a fifth straight win. They also have straight clean sheets in their last four matches. With just one loss in their last 10 matches Servette will be confident of going past this hurdle. Being on a run of 14 matches unbeaten at home, Servette will enter this game as firm favorites. They have four wins in their last five home matches. To get to this stage, they beat Ludogorets 1-0 on aggregate in the knockout playoffs. It was tight across the two ties and Servette will hope for an easier run in this round. In their four Conference League matches in history, Servette have one loss and three clean sheets.

Viktoria Plzen advanced to this stage after topping their group in the first round. They had a perfect run in the group, winning all their six matches, scoring nine times and conceding just once. Like their hosts, the Czech Republic side is also coming into this game on a good run. In their last outing Viktoria Plzen beat 10-man Pardubice 3-2 away from home. It should have been a more comfortable win for Plzen hadn’t they conceded twice in the second half, while leading 3-0. The goals conceded brought to an end their run of three straight clean sheets. At least one side failed to score in three of their last five matches. They have the chance to extend their good Conference League run here, having won each of their last 11. Viktoria Plzen are unbeaten in 12 Conference League matches, with nine clean sheets in that run.
