Our prediction for the match Viktoria Plzen vs Manchester United
“The Red and Blues” have recently won a number of championship titles. Still, the team has recently clearly been pushed into the second roles by rivals from the capital. The club, if we speak about the previous cycle, again finished behind Prague Sparta and Slavia. As for the season of 2023/2024, “the Red Devils” first disgraced themselves in the Champions League, failing to advance from the group, and then falling to 8th place in the Premier League. Finally, the team won the Europa League – that success ensured a pass to the European competition.
At the same time, ten Hag retained his position in the summer... And the specialist continued to disgrace himself with his wards after the summer holidays. Speaking about the Europa League, his footballers were limited to draws in the struggles with Twente, Porto and Fenerbahçe. It is reasonable to mention that the Dutch mentor was resigned, which helped immediately: the English club beat PAOK under the leadership of Van Nistelrooy and Bodo/Glimt under the rule of Ruben Amorim.
Viktoria started in the summer qualification, where the team won both matches against Kryvbas and Hearts. Koubek’s footballers first played to a draw in the struggles with Eintracht Frankfurt, Ludogorets and PAOK in the autumn. Still, last month brought 2-1 successes in the games against Real Sociedad and Dynamo Kyiv.
