Plzen vs Levski Sofia Prediction & Betting Tips

Levski's domestic run versus Plzen's up-and-down form

Levski Sofia's sample covers 20 matches across the First League, Champions League qualifiers, cups and a friendly, and it reads well: 13 wins, four draws, just three defeats, and 38 goals scored against 16 conceded. There's a clear pattern of winning games, even if the games themselves come from different competitions and can't be read as one clean run.

Plzen's equivalent sample is far less settled. Seven wins, six draws and seven losses from 20 matches, with 40 scored but also 39 conceded, points to a team that's just as likely to concede as it is to score. That defensive leakiness stands out more than anything else in their numbers.

Levski's underlying form looks the steadier of the two, though the samples come from different competitions and aren't directly comparable.

Comparative Team Statistics: Plzen vs Levski Sofia

Same start in the league phase

Both clubs have played a single match in this Europa League league phase so far, and both lost without scoring. Levski went down 0-1, while Plzen were beaten 3-0. That single result puts them at positions 27 and 34 respectively, but it's one match each, not a settled picture of where either side sits over a full campaign.

A caution to watch for Plzen

Plzen's Hrošovský has picked up two yellow cards in his last three appearances. That's not confirmation he'll miss this fixture, but it does mean another booking before then would put him in danger of a ban.
