Viktoria Plzen vs FC Sheriff – The first leg of the match was won 1-2 by Viktoria on the road. For the second leg, they will host Sheriff at home. It goes without saying that the hosts are in a strong position due to momentum.
The previous year, they had placed second in the Czech top division at the end of the regular season, but they pulled off an incredible comeback in the postseason to take the top spot in the league table.
They consistently scored goals, and more significantly, they have been on an outstanding run of performances in front of their home audience for quite some time.
Sheriff, meanwhile, hails from Moldova’s lower-tier first division and will have to deal with their inexperience playing against top-tier European teams. Additionally, they have been conceding goals in large quantities and have not been playing at their best on the road for a while.
Viktoria Plzen vs FC Sheriff – Betting Analysis
These two sides have only faced off once, and Viktoria came out on the road with a 1-2 victory, and Viktoria had not lost in any of their previous 29 games overall, and during that time, they had also gone on winning streaks of seven games and four games.
They have only lost twice at this location since September of last year, and throughout that time, they have won 8 straight games and 2 consecutive 5-game winning streaks.
Sheriff, on the other side, had a losing streak of three games and had lost five of their previous nine games overall. Given these observations and the outcome of the first leg, anticipate a victory for Viktoria on Tuesday at home.
The hosts are unlikely to be alarmed if Sheriff eventually equalises on aggregate given their seeming propensity to score goals at will this season—they have done so in at least all five of their competitive games so far.
Viktoria Plzen’s name will therefore be put into the pot for the playoff round draw, even though it might not be simple.
