Dukla Prague will not enjoy any easy starts to the Czechia top flight. Their return sees them take on Viktoria Plzen at home in Round 1. Here we assess the stats and give a prediction for the Saturday match.
The hosts had a great run in preseason, winning five of six and finishing undefeated. That is the kind of form they’ll be hoping to start off with in the league. In their final friendly match, they defeated Sparta Prague II 2-1.
Here on the back of a title winning run in the second tier, Dukla will be hoping to tap on that form. They lost just once in their last nine competitive matches and won six. This will be their 24th meeting with Viktoria Plzen and they’ll be gunning for only their fourth win.
Each of the last three matches pitting these sides were friendly games, in which Viktoria registered straight wins. Those were an extension of their form against Dukla, whom they beat 4-0 in their last league meeting back in 2019.
Viktoria Plzen had a solid campaign last season, finishing third, and will be gunning for a better one this time. In preparing for this season they finished their warmup games winless in the last two, most recently a 3-3 draw with Copenhagen.
Competitively, they’ll be eying a first win in five. That’s after a tough run to wrap up their campaign in 2023/24. In 21 league matches, the hosts lost just twice.
