Plzeň faces a tough test in Jablonec after a disappointing home result, but their away form has been exceptional this season.
The team from Pilsen is currently sixth in the league standings, but is looking to climb the table and challenge for a bronze medal position currently held by Jablonec. A coaching change earlier in the season saw Miroslav Koubek replaced by Martin Hyský, injecting new energy into the squad.
Viktoria Plzeň suffered a setback at home, falling 3-5 to Slavia Prague. However, their performance on the road has been a major strength, boasting six wins and two draws in their last eight competitive away matches. This strong away record will be crucial as they travel to face Jablonec.
Plzeň is also competing in the Europa League, where they currently hold an impressive eight points. Now, the focus shifts back to the domestic Chance League, and a difficult match against Jablonec awaits. The gap to the top two teams, Prague “S”, stands at nine and eleven points respectively.
The team will need to quickly refocus from their European commitments and translate their away form into a positive result against a Jablonec side eager to defend their third-place position.
