Our Viktoria Plzen vs Porto Prediction
Our prediction for the Viktoria Plzen vs. FC Porto Europa League Matchday Six match is: FC Porto wins.
This is a baptism of fire for Viktoria Plzen in their first competitive game back after the winter break. It's hard to see how they can be match sharp for this game with an FC Porto side in outstanding form of late, and who do not concede many goals at all. I don't expect a game with lots of goals, but those that are scored will likely go the way of the visitors.
