Viktoria Plzen take on the visitors Roma in the round 1 match of the Europa League group stage. The game will be played at Doosan Arena on Thursday, September 15th.
Viktoria and their opponents got their place in the Europa League as losers of qualification to the Champions League. Czech champions lost their matchup to Ludogorets, 0-2, 2-2. The hosting side show quite nice results recently, having three-match undefeated run. At the same time, the Plzen side have troubles in keeping clean sheets as they allowed at least one goal in eight of their last ten matches. Such poor play in defense leave them small chances for successful result in Europe.

Roma, in their turn, got eliminated to Europa League after threshing defeat to Porto, 1-1, 0-3. We should note that the defeat was suffered at own turf with two players being sent off. However, the visiting side show quite positive results in other matches this season and show their character as it was in the most recent win over Sampdoria, 3-2. Roma have the same weakness as they allowed at least one goal in four matches out of five played this season.
The clash will be the first ever head-to-head between the teams. Considering the fact that neither of the teams can count on their defensive lines, we may expect to see numerous scoring chances created and at least two scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals.
