Our tip: Jablonec – Plzeň: double chance 0-0

03.08.2024 17:00

Plzeň is already starting to turn its attention to the 3rd preliminary round of the Europa League, which will be played next Thursday in Košice, where Ukrainian Kryvbas have their European asylum. Before that, however, Viktoria have to get through the game at the Střelnice stadium in Jablonec, where they have won their last three matches.

Pilsen will be the last of the Czech top five to enter the cups and after two league rounds, there is contentment at Štruncové sady with a maximum of six points. In any case, Sunday’s sweaty 1-0 home win over Hradec Králové was hard to come by, with Šulc scoring the only goal from his own penalty.

Coach Koubek is sticking to the proven line-up, the only and forced change he had to make was on the top line, where Kabong was replaced by Vydra. The injury to Kabongo, who will miss the whole season, is a big inconvenience. His first match at Dukla (3:1) was a success, so after Chorý’s departure to Slavia, Plzeň must continue to look for his replacement.

Jablonec are facing their third game against a European Cup participant, and their quality is gradually increasing. After a 2-0 home win over Mlada Boleslav, which saw the North Boys sweep to victory with two exclusions, they lost 0-1 in Ostrava and had to regret not getting at least a point against their rivals. However, Jablonec suggested that they might not have to worry about salvation this season.

New coach Luboš Kozel has brought a change, the team is playing more straightforwardly, but may be hampered by a narrow squad; in Ostrava Kozel had only eight substitutes on the bench, including two goalkeepers.

What to bet on:

Plzeň is facing a tricky duel. They can take on Jablonec, but they will bite harder than in previous seasons and the tie could last a long time, at least until half-time. A draw may then shine at the end.

Trust:

6/10
