Last week, Red Star Belgrade and Viktoria Plzen played a relatively balanced match, which, however, ended with a convincing 3:0 victory for the Serbian team. Thus, before the return match in the Czech Republic, the task for Viktoria Plzen looks extremely difficult, especially since the team has not been performing particularly convincingly lately and has not recorded a single victory after their first three league matches of the new season.
Viktoria Plzen has no choice but to attackDespite the serious deficit, I expect the hosts to throw all their efforts into seeking a miracle and to approach the game offensively from the very first minutes. This should open up the match and provide enough opportunities for Red Star Belgrade as well. The guests, on the other hand, come with confidence after recording a crushing victory just a few days ago in the league.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsViktoria Plzen must seek goals and there is not much benefit from cautious play, which suggests a more open football. I do not believe that the Czech team will be able to erase their deficit and eliminate Red Star Belgrade, but I expect the return match to offer enough goal-scoring opportunities.
