Na Stínadlech will host the Czech Fortuna Liga encounter between Teplice and Viktoria Plzen. Heading into this game, the two teams faced defeat in their last encounter. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

Teplice

Teplice's last league game was against Mlada Boleslav and they lost. In a game that ended 2-1, Denis Halinsky's strike in the last minute was all this team could take, having conceded in each half of the game. In the meantime, Teplice have lost two of their recent matches, the first against Chrudim, ending 1-2. Yet, their encounters against Zizkov and Slavia Prague B ended in wins, while drawing Karvina. In their last home matches, Teplice have won four and lost one. This season, Teplice have accumulated 22 points from 21 matches, leaving them seated 13th in the standings. 

Viktoria Plzen

Viktoria Plzen's last encounter was against Ferencvaros in the Europa League playoff stage and they lost. In a game that ended 1-0, Mohammed Abu Fani's strike was all their opponent needed to take maximum points. However, the visiting team's last league game was against Slovan Liberec and they secured a hard-fought victory. Away from home, Viktoria Plzen have lost their last three matches. This season, Viktoria Plzen has 46 points from their first 21 league games. In the standings, this team sits in second spot, scoring 42 goals and conceding 19. 

Expert Betting Tips

Viktoria Plzen are the side for the job in this game and I expect them to take their chances. While looking at how their first leg contest ended, there is no doubt this game will be a low-scoring contest, especially with the two teams finding it difficult to balance both attack and defence. Yet, looking at the side that is better, Viktoria Plzen should be able to secure maximum points.
