Viktoria Plzen hosts Sonderjyske in the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, September 24th at Doosan Arena (Plzen)
In terms of the level, Viktoria Plzen is somewhere between the Champions League and the Europa League, so it periodically qualifies for this or that tournament. The Czechs are far superior to the Danish team in terms of experience in European cups in recent years, and Adrian Gula has a very well-played team, which lost the leadership to Slavia only in recent years. Viktoria uses a 4-3-3 offensive scheme, and Sonderjyske will have a very hard time in the upcoming match. Before the Europa League, Plzen warmed up in the away game with Bohemians and beat it with a 4-1 score. Alvir and Hybs are injured.

The visitors have never stood out for a stable game in Denmark, and European cups are generally rare for such a modest team. Nevertheless, Sonderjyske managed to win the Danish Cup in the last season. The team started the new championship with a 2-0 home victory over the champion Midtjylland, and then it lost to Vejle away (1-4). Sonderjyske has an obvious home tint, so they will feel uncomfortable away, especially against such an attack with such a defense.
These teams have never crossed their paths on the pitch. Now there are several factors in favor of Viktoria’s victory with a minus handicap. The Czechs have much more European Cup experience. The defense of Sonderjyske is full of holes, and the team does not play as aggressively away as at home. I think the hosts will try to gain confident victory in the home match.
Prediction for the match: Viktoria Plzen to win with -1.0 handicap
