Full analysis:
Viktoria Plzen will play a return leg in the Europa League play-offs. The team lost 1-0 to Ferencváros in the 23rd minute. Up to that point, Plzen had seemed to be in the shadows. But then they came into their own and started to look like a dangerous opponent. Despite a number of intriguing chances, they were unable to find the equaliser. Before the match, Pilsen were favourites to go through. Interestingly, their 1-0 away defeat has increased their odds to around 2.00. A one-goal deficit is nothing the Czechs can't overcome at home and add another goal. The team's ambition is clearly to qualify for the eighth round of the Europa League.
Plzen have a huge attacking threat. Their attacking ace Prince Adu was rested over the weekend, while their other attacking treasure was on a rampage. Rafiu Durosinmi scored twice against Teplice in the league. Other players are also ready. None of the team's core players will be missing. I believe that Plzen will take on their opponents from the first minute and go for promotion, they definitely have the quality and experience to do so.
Ferencvárosi, on the other hand, lost their biggest star and captain in the first game. Barnabas Varga was clearly the team's number one striker. As well as assisting on the winner against Plzen, he also received a yellow card in the 88th minute and has been suspended for tonight's match. With that, Plzen eliminated their main attacking threat with little effort. The other Ferencváros strikers have their quality, but none of them can match Varga's parameters. The team has also struggled in the league recently, failing to win 4 games in a row. They lost 2-0 at Paks at the weekend.
A win for Plzen at odds of 1.65 is too short for me, so I'm taking a bet on promotion at odds of 2.00. If Plzen win today, I think they will go up.
