Full analysis:

Viktoria Pilsen have been in very good form this season. Great results in the Europa League secured them a place in the play-offs, and they are also keeping pace in the Czech league. They stumbled after the winter break when they lost 2-1 in Olomouc, but that did not affect the good atmosphere at the club. The absence of reserve striker Lukas Kalvach proved to be a key factor in that match. However, the 29-year-old has returned to action after a brief illness, meaning that Plzen will have a full squad to face Liberec at home. After the defeat against Olomouc, there can be no further hesitation. Although Plzen are no longer in contention for the title, they are still in contention for second place and a place in the Champions League qualifying round. Pilsen currently hold a 3-point lead over Sparta.

Liberec is still searching for its face. Even the winter break didn't help. Despite the arrival of several reinforcements, the match against Baník Ostrava was not a good one. Despite the fact that Liberec received a quick red card in the game and ended up losing 1-0, the game shown still shows big gaps both in the defence and in the transition phase to attack. Goalkeeper Koubek was definitely the best player in Liberec, which says it all.

In the Plzen - Liberec match I expect only a win for the home team and a total of 2 or more goals scored. The odds are 1.80.
