Viktoria Plzen vs Slavia Prague Prediction: League title is on the line in this one

Viktoria Plzen and Slavia Prague are set to compete in the Czech Fortuna Liga round 28 at Doosan Arena. Heading into this match, the hosts are coming off their second consecutive goalless draw, having recently faced Fiorentina in the Europa League. Meanwhile, Slavia Prague emerged victorious against Bohemians in their previous weekend fixture.

Viktoria Plzeň heads into this match after a 0-0 draw against Fiorentina in the Conference League, marking their second consecutive goalless result following a similar outcome against Karvina in the league. Despite these recent draws, they've managed to secure two wins against Jablonec, one in the league and the other in the MOL Cup. These recent results highlight the defensive solidity of Viktoria Plzeň, with only four goals conceded in their last six matches.

Slavia Prague enters this encounter fresh off a 2-1 victory against Bohemians in their latest First League fixture. In that match, Slavia Prague dominated possession with 71% and made 18 attempts at goal, with 6 of them on target. Petr Ševčík (55') and Mojmír Chytil (67') found the net for Slavia Prague, while Lukáš Hůlka (93') scored for Bohemians from their 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target. Over their last six matches, Slavia Prague has scored a total of 15 goals, maintaining a consistent scoring record. However, their defense conceded 9 goals during this period.

Looking ahead to this fixture, Slavia Prague hasn't secured a victory against Viktoria Plzeň in their last two away league encounters, but they remain unbeaten in their previous 14 away league matches.

Both teams have shown exceptional form in the league this season, setting high expectations for this upcoming match. The hosts seem poised to secure a third-place finish, but they won't enter this game without putting up a fight, considering the competitiveness of the encounter. Slavia Prague's chances of clinching the title are at stake, and they cannot afford to drop points in this crucial fixture. Based on the outcomes of previous meetings, I anticipate both teams finding the net in this match, but Slavia Prague is likely to emerge victorious by the end of the game.
