The Czech First League gets underway this weekend, and the first game of the season takes place on Friday night as FK Pardubice host Viktoria Plzeň. Can David Strihavka's FK surprise last season's title runners-up, or will our match prediction go with Miroslav Koubek's FC Viktoria, who have been looking really sharp in front of goal throughout the pre-season period?
Last season, FK Pardubice finished second from bottom in the table during both the regular season and the relegation round. It was only a relegation playoff win over Chrudim (2-1 on aggregate) that secured their place in the top flight. In contrast, Plzen finished second in both the regular season and Championship playoff rounds, amassing 49 points and 46 goals more than today's opposition.
In pre-season warm-up games, FK Pardubice defeated Skalica 3-1 at home before losing 4-2 to Jihořovice (home) and then 3-2 away to Slask Wroclaw. They finished their pre-season with a 1-1 draw with Vlasim a week before this game.
In contrast, Plzen's pre-season form has been exceptional. They started with a 23-0 away win over Stod, before beating SK Dynamo 2-0 at home, then Komarov 6-2 away. A 2-0 home win over Botosani followed before they wrapped up pre-season with a 1-0 away win over Vfl Osnabruck, a 2-1 home win over Gornik Zabrze and a 1-1 draw away to VfL Bochum last weekend.

Our FK Pardubice vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction
Our prediction for the FK Pardubice vs. Viktoria Plzen Czech First League game is: Viktoria Plzen to win and Over 2.5 Goals.
Last season, FK Pardubice needed to win a relegation playoff to stay up, whereas Plzen finished second to Champions Slavia Praha. Plzen's pre-season form is excellent, while their opponents is poor. There's little data to suggest anything but a comfortable win for Plzen on the opening day of the Czech First League season, hence we have gone with the Over 2.5 Goals option to boost the odds for the bet.
