FC Viktoria Plzen
- Plzen’s third-place position in the 1. Liga 2025-2026 table and 45 points from 25 games is a respectable return for a club with European ambitions.
- However, Martin Hysky’s men have had a mixed return of one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five matches in all competitions, coming off the back of a commanding 3-0 away win over FC Hradec Kralove.
Bohemians 1905
- Jaroslav Vesely’s Bohemians are a team that has played compactly, been direct in attack and quick in transition since he took over in March 2022.
- It has made for some entertaining soccer to watch, but also an inconsistent season with Bohemians 1905 sitting 12th in the league table with 27 points after 25 games.
Head-to-Head
- Viktoria Plzen have won each of the last three 1. Liga head-to-head meetings with Bohemians 1905.
- FC Viktoria Plzen have won six, drawn four and lost just two of their 12 home league games (W6, D4, L2).
Key Players
- The contrasting styles of these two teams should make for an intriguing game on Sunday, with the pace and power of Plzen likely to dominate ball possession and the tempo while Bohemians can hurt on the break.
- Bohemians 1905 are not the most prolific of outfits and have been exposed away from Prague, where they have conceded an average of 1.25 goals per game.
-
Notable players:
- Ales Cermak is their top scorer with a modest three goals in 22 league appearances, but his creativity and ability to spot and exploit pockets of space on the transition could be key for Bohemians.
- Daniel Vasulin has been Plzen’s star player this term with nine goals in 18 appearances in the 1. Liga, but his workrate and ability to finish off attacks is vital to their style of play.
Betting Insights
- They have averaged 1.67 goals scored and 1.17 conceded per home game in the 1. Liga, which demonstrates the quality they have going forward but also some of the problems that Hysky’s team have had in defence.
- Both Teams to Score - Yes looks like a solid proposition at 1.85 and will be our main bet on Sunday, with Plzen to win at 1.38 providing a bit of value for the bettors.
Prediction
A win for the home side is almost an obvious choice in this matchup, given Plzen have won the last three league meetings with Bohemians 1905 and appear to have superior quality in most areas of the pitch.
