Viktoria Plzeň and Pardubice meet in the league with neither side particularly settled, but the form they arrive in is clearly different. Pardubice have just thrashed their opponents 6-0 in the cup and followed that with a 3-0 league win, while Viktoria Plzeň have just lost 1-2 in the Europa League, their second consecutive defeat in that competition. In the league Viktoria Plzeň are still picking up some results, but their defence is leaky enough, conceding 19 goals in 11 matches, while Pardubice score fewer (12 goals) but also concede less (16 goals). Pardubice's attacking play lately seems to come more from team play than from any one star, and a tighter defence has given them the confidence to open up and attack more. After kick-off, the first thing to watch is how deep Pardubice set up, because if they drop back and wait to counter, Viktoria Plzeň, who will have more of the ball, may run into a dead end. But if Pardubice are brave enough to press high as they did last time out, the game could open up into an end-to-end contest from the start.
