Our Prediction for the Viktoria Plzen vs Real Sociedad Match
"Viktorka" finished third in the Czech league last season, with only two Prague giants ahead of them. Real Sociedad, after a long absence from the Champions League, managed to finish first in their group last year but faltered under pressure from Girona and Atletico, finishing only sixth in La Liga.
Currently, Imanol Alguacil's side has started the season poorly in La Liga, losing four of their first six matches. While they have gained some momentum, setbacks still occur, such as a 0-2 home loss to Osasuna. The "Red and Blues" have improved, benefiting from Sparta’s slump, and will likely compete for second place with Slavia.
The Czechs have played interestingly in this Europa League. In qualifying, they won all their matches, beating Kryvbas and Hearts twice (in three cases with a 1-0 scoreline). In the main round, however, they have drawn all their games, including matches with Eintracht, Ludogorets, and PAOK. The experienced Spaniards have been disappointing: they started with a draw against Nice, then lost at home to Anderlecht, but in the most recent round, they secured a 2-1 victory in a technically away match against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
