Bet highlight:

1. Plzen at full strength against a weaker opponent
2. Motivation to finish 2nd in the league ahead of Sparta and play in the Champions League qualifying round
3. To make up for the points lost in Olomouc

Full analysis:

On paper, it should be a straightforward affair. Viktoria Plzen, the only Czech team to have ever participated in the European Cups, will be playing in Teplice against an average team from the Czech league. Plzen's chances of winning are high at 1.98 for several reasons. Plzen played a tough Europa League match at Ferencváros on Thursday, losing 1-0. The return leg is in a few days' time. Moreover, Plzen have not won in Teplice for 4 years. Thanks to all these circumstances, people have a lot of faith in Teplice not to lose, which is why the odds on Plzen have risen so much. And that's where I see the value.

Reasons why I think Plzen will win today. They can leapfrog Sparta into second place and secure a place in the Champions League qualifying round with a 3-point advantage. They really have a much better squad than Teplice. They drew at Olomouc in their last league game, so they won't want to lose for the second time in a row. Coach Koubek is sparing no one ahead of the rematch with Ferencváros and will field his strongest team against Teplice. Plzen have great quality in attack. The great striker Durosinmi is returning to form after an injury, and then there is Prince Adu, the biggest Plzen comet of recent months. One will play in the base, the other will be ready to decide the game from the bench.
