After contrasting outings in Europe, Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague will be back to domestic action when they meet on Sunday. To this league meeting, Sparta Prague heads while topping the standings while hosts Viktoria Plzen are third. Viktoria Plzen have so far bagged 48 points, 12 behind their visitors and they’ll be keen to slash this gap. They are coming from a 0-0 away draw with Servette in the Conference League. That result extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches. A return to winning ways will top their agenda for this game and their good run in the league will do. Viktoria Plzen are coming into this fixture having won all of their last four league matches. They haven't lost in nine league matches, drawing two. With five goals in three league matches, Pavel Sulc will be their main man here. He scored twice in each of their last two league matches and will be fired up for this. Having lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture, Viktoria Plzen will want to avoid another defeat here.

Sparta Prague haven't had it smooth since their extra time win over Slavia Prague in the domestic cup. Their head-to-head record against Viktoria Plzen will however have them confident going into this game. Sparta Prague have beaten Viktoria Plzen in three of their last four meetings. Their recent run however, will not inspire much confidence, coming from a 5-1 defeat at home to Liverpool in the Europa League. That loss marked their second straight winless outing, having earlier drawn 0-0 with Slavia Prague. Those two matches were at home and Sparta Prague will feel the fortunes could change in an away game. Indeed, they have four straight away wins in the league, and this should have them fired up.
