Champions League Viktoria Plzen vs CSKA Moscow

Champions League Viktoria Plzen vs CSKA Moscow

Viktoria Plzen is the current champion of Czech and they managed to thus qualify themselves directly for the Champions League group stage.

Last year they were the best Czech team and managed to outperform Slavia who was asleep and returned to wake up instead of Sparta who let himself “sleep” in the title fight.

Plzen this year has been well in the league and shares leadership with Slavia. They only lost a match and it was precisely for Slavia that they were defeated by expressive 4-0.

Last weekend they returned to play and won 1-0 at home to the championship again feeling good feelings and confidence recovered after this heavy defeat.

The squad does not have great individualities and in this group they are the weakest team, although in this meeting they have a say.
The Russians from CSKA were not champions but they were in 2nd place and this allowed them to have direct access to the group stage of the Champions League.

This year they intend to regain the national title, but the championship start was a promising one although gradually they started to practice better football and the victories have appeared in the last games.

CSKA have a squad able to fight for the title and in this Champions League are a team that can cause surprise.

They are not favorites to go forward, but if they manage to outperform Plzen in both games, they may have a say in this group.

Last year they were in 3rd place and were relegated to the Europa League. This year at least 3rd place is expected to be able to guarantee.

They come from 2 consecutive victories for the championship and this is the best moment that this team crosses.

CSKA Moscow is, in my opinion, a slightly better team than the Viktoria Plzen’s Czechs and so I believe they can score in this trip to the Czech Republic.

The Moscow team are usually stronger at home than away from home in European competitions, but in Plzen they have clear chances to score or even win the match.

Plzen may be higher at times but CSKA are likely to be very dangerous on offensive attacks and I believe they can get out of Plzen with points.

A defeat for the weakest team of this group will directly condition a possible passage to the eighth, so the Russians are aware that they have at least to score in this match.

Betting Prediction: CSKA Moscow wins or ties
Odds: 1.47
