Looking at these two teams, we feel that Dukla Prague have the capability to breach the defence of this Viktoria Plzeň lineup, but that might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re predicting a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Viktoria Plzeň at full-time. Should be an interesting one.
