Hradec Kralove welcome Viktoria Plzen at Malsovica Arena, Hradec Králové today at 7:00 PM in a 1st League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Hradec Kralove come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Viktoria Plzen, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Hradec Kralove face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Viktoria Plzen have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hradec Kralove won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hradec Kralove a slight edge, but Viktoria Plzen are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
