Viktoria Plzen v Banik Ostrava : Liga 1 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 16th Mar, 14:30 BST, Stadion Lucní ulice, Plzen

Pavel Hapal pays counterpart Miroslav Koubek a visit on Sunday afternoon in the Liga 1, as their Banik Ostrava and Viktoria Plzen charges go head to head at the Stadion Lucní ulice. All of the key statistics for the tie, including head-to-heads, predictions and odds from leading bookmakers across 17 of the biggest betting markets are covered in this in-depth preview. It's all here with the aim of helping you make a smart bet.


Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of effective, attacking sides going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective managers Miroslav Koubek or Pavel Hapal mastermind a defensive masterclass to scupper our tip? Recent form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, suggest that's unlikely.
