Viktoria Plzen will get Sunday’s Czech First League action underway when they host FK Pardubice at the Doosan Arena. Viktorka currently holds the third position in the league with 18 points while Pardubice is 13th with just seven points. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Viktoria were engaged in UEFA Europa League action this past week when they faced Ludogorets at home. While Viktoria held the upper hand for most of the match, the biggest chance on the night fell to the opposition in the form of a penalty. 

However, they were unable to convert the opportunity, which resulted in both sides having to settle for a share of the points.

That marked their third consecutive draw over all competitions and Viktorka will now be searching for answers on how to help revive this season and possibly move up the league and European table.

Meanwhile, the Doosan Arena has been a lucrative environment for the home side, as they have not been beaten here in eight matches across all competitions.

Pardubice will enter this match without the services of manager Jiri Sanak as well as two of their starting players after an ill-disciplined performance against Teplice that resulted in a 1-0 loss and saw all three sent off.

Although Pardubice had won their last cup match, in the league they lost two of their last three matches and could only get onto the scorecard in a draw against Mlada Boleslav.

However, when away from home, Pardubice have had a mixed last three matches (W1 D1 L1) in which they scored five and conceded only four goals.
