In this Europa League match, Viktoria Plzeň host Levski Sofia after their most recent cup outing ended in a 0-3 defeat for the home side, while Levski Sofia also lost their cup match 0-1. Both teams therefore need points here to keep their cup campaign from getting worse. Viktoria Plzeň pick up wins from time to time in their own league, but their defence still shows clear problems. Levski Sofia, meanwhile, are a team that has not lost in the league all season and have just won their latest match without conceding, so their defence is the foundation that keeps the visitors hard to beat. This game is likely to see the home side with more of the ball and trying to push forward, while Levski Sofia are comfortable sitting deep and waiting for the counter. The thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly the home side can break down the visitors' compact defence. If they cannot, the game will become more stifling and open space for the visitors to play more easily.
