FK Pardubice vs Plzen Prediction & Tips
It’s kick-off time for this new edition of the Chance Liga. The first match will see Pardubice take on Viktoria Plzen this Friday at 7pm at the Stadion Arnosta Kostala. These two teams are unlikely to have the same ambitions this season. Last season, Pardubice had to go through the play-offs to retain their place in the Czech football elite. It managed to do so by winning its doubleheader against Chrudim (aggregate score: 2-1). Once again, David Strihavka’s team could find itself at the bottom of the Chance Liga table. Its start to the season is shaping up to be very tricky.
Viktoria Plzen, meanwhile, is expected to be among the frontrunners in the Czech championship. Last season, it finished in second place, behind Slavia Prague. This impressive performance earned them a place in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. They will kick off their Champions League campaign in just a few days, hosting Servette FC. Miroslav Koubek’s men will be looking to get off to the best possible start in the Chance Liga. They should have no trouble securing a comfortable win away to Pardubice.
