Viktoria Plzeň vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview
Viktoria Plzeň open their Europa League campaign at the Doosan Aréna sitting 19th in the league phase standings, with mixed recent form heading into this fixture. Radoslav Kováč's side secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Líšeň in the Czech First League but were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Slovácko, a result that left the manager lamenting missed opportunities. New arrivals Denis Vavro and Adam Gabriel add depth, though consistency remains elusive.
Union Saint-Gilloise travel to the Czech Republic in considerably sharper condition. The Belgian side have rattled in nine goals across three consecutive domestic wins, including a ruthless 3-0 dismantling of Anderlecht and a spirited 3-2 comeback against Charleroi. Currently second in the Belgian Pro League, they carry genuine momentum. Summer signings Dylan Aquino and Denzel De Roeve have bolstered the squad, and confidence is high as they begin their European group stage journey.
Union Saint-Gilloise's recent domestic run is the decisive factor behind the draw-or-away selection. Three consecutive victories, including a commanding demolition of Anderlecht and a spirited comeback against Charleroi, point to a side brimming with confidence. Plzeň, by contrast, have managed just one win from their last two outings and sit level on form with their Belgian visitors only on paper.
The arrivals of Dylan Aquino and Denzel De Roeve have added depth and quality to Union's squad, reinforcing an already potent attacking unit that scored nine goals across those three wins. Plzeň's recruitment of Denis Vavro and Adam Gabriel bolsters their defensive options, yet manager Radoslav Kováč publicly lamented missed chances after a disappointing draw with Slovácko. That profligacy could prove costly against sharper opposition.
The away win at 2.60 offers genuine value given Union's momentum, while the draw at 3.50 provides a safety net within the double chance selection. Both teams finding the net looks plausible at 1.67, considering Plzeň's ability to score at home and Union's attacking firepower. This opening group fixture should deliver an entertaining contest that favours the visitors.
