Jablonec and Viktoria Plzeň meet in the league where both still need points to move up the table. Jablonec sit 5th with 17 points, while Viktoria Plzeň are 11th with 13 points, so this is a match where the hosts want to keep momentum and the visitors want to stop the disappointment. Jablonec have just lost in Europe 2-3, following a 0-2 league defeat before a 1-0 league win in the next match. Overall this season they have scored 12 and conceded 9 in 10 matches, a team whose games are not very open. Viktoria Plzeň have just won 3-0 in the league but lost 1-2 in the Europa League, despite scoring as many as 20 goals in 10 league matches, yet conceding 17. Defence is the area that makes their results inconsistent. The pattern of play is likely to be close. The hosts have slightly more possession based on the average of the last 10 matches, but Viktoria Plzeň create more shots on target, and if the game continues to be this end-to-end, the side that defends more calmly will decide how it ends. Jablonec are likely to be the ones opening up at home, while Viktoria Plzeň are likely to wait for counter-attacking moments and use their advantage in midfield.
