Viktoria Plzen vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions
A jam-packed matchday six in the UEFA Europa League will get underway at Doosan Arena with Viktoria Plzen playing host to Manchester United on Thursday evening. Both the Red Devils and Viktorka are locked level on nine points apiece and enter this fixture in 12th and 13th place respectively in the League Phase standings. Check out our match prediction below.
Viktoria Plzen’s only previous matchups against English opposition were back in the 2013-14 Champions League group stage against Manchester City, and they lost both games with a 7-2 aggregate score. Man United have never beaten Czech opposition on the road in Europe before (W0 D2 L1), though their last such encounter was way back in 2004 against Sparta Prague.
The visitors are short-priced favourites in this one according to bookmakers, though it is the hosts that have the better recent record in the lead-up to this intriguing encounter. To the key stats!

Viktoria Plzen - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Viktoria Plzen are enjoying an impressive Europa League campaign and made significant strides up the table with back-to-back wins in their last two matches in the competition.
Those results followed three straight draws over the first three rounds, meaning that they are one of the seven teams remaining in the competition with an unbeaten record.
However, Viktorka have not only been performing well in Europe this term. After beating Karvina 2-1 in the Czech Liga over the weekend, the hosts are now unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions (W6 D1 L0).
Viktoria Plzen have not lost a single home game this season (W10 D3 L0)!
Meanwhile, Manchester United are aiming to avoid a third straight defeat here following a 2-0 loss to Arsenal and a 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in the space of three days.
The Red Devils have an identical record to their upcoming opponents in the Europa League with three straight draws before notching up back-to-back wins in their last two outings.
However, the major difference is that the visitors have struggled mightily on the road this season, currently winless in their last seven away games in all competitions (W0 D5 L2).

Viktoria Plzen & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Viktoria Plzen have gone the entire season so far without three of their first-team players in strikers Rafiu Durosinmi and Christophe Kabongo, and left-winger Jan Sykora.
All three players have undergone surgical procedures on their knees and are not expected to return to action until the New Year.
Ghanaian striker Prince Kwabena Adu, who has already scored eight goals this season, will remain sidelined for this match due to ongoing visa issues, and Matej Valenta is ruled out with a knee injury.
Rasmus Hojlund has scored three goals in Man United’s last four Europa League matches!
The Norwegian also found the back of the net in the defeat to Nottingham Forest over the weekend and will likely be given the nod to lead the line in this one.
Ruben Amorim confirmed in the build-up to this match that Victor Lindelof could be cleared fit for this match having not featured since the November international break.
However, the Swede’s defensive partners Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw remain sidelined with injuries, while young Toby Collyer is ruled out for the foreseeable future.
