Sigma Olomouc (home)
- Sigma Olomouc have won 6, drawn 3 and lost only 1 of their 10 games on their own ground in the 1. Liga this season, while Viktoria Plzen have won 5, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 10 away games in the 2025-2026 campaign.
- Sigma are a pragmatic, direct and pressing team who like to get players forward quickly and play a high percentage of the game in the opposing half.
- Their pressing style has been particularly effective since Tomas Janotka took over as head coach in May 2024, with the team relying on their compactness in defense and ability to create problems from set pieces.
Viktoria Plzen (away)
- Viktoria Plzen have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 1. Liga games, and are on 3 straight victories
- Plzen are much more structured and prefer to build-up from the back with the ball, although they are not afraid to play a possession-based game with plenty of width and they have been much more dynamic and pressing since Martin Hysky took over in October 2025.
- Plzen have won 3 straight games, and Sigma have only won 1 of their last 5 in all competitions.
Head-to-Head
Plzen have taken 2 of the 3 head-to-heads, including a 1-0 win on home soil five months ago in the 1. Liga.
Key Players
- Abubakar Ghali leads the way for Sigma with 3 goals in 15 league games this season, so the hosts will need to improve their scoring returns if they are to upset the odds.
- Denis Visinsky has found some good form for Plzen recently, scoring 3 of his side’s last 9 goals in 5 appearances.
- Daniel Vasulin is Plzen’s main goal threat, with 9 goals in 17 1. Liga games for the season.
Betting Insights
- Plzen are 2.05 favorites to win on Saturday, while Sigma are 3.45 and the odds of a draw are 3.2.
- Both teams to score at 1.92 is our main selection for this game, while the correct score forecast of a 2-1 away victory is based on the fact that these two have averaged 1.5 goals apiece in their last 5 league games.
Prediction
- Plzen have the momentum, so can nick this one, but Sigma are strong on their own soil and can keep it close enough to make it interesting.
- Sigma will try to press Plzen and rely on set pieces to trouble them, while Plzen will try to use their wide players to stretch the home team and create openings with their pace.
