A clash of styles in Plzen
With no reported injuries or suspensions, both Plzen and Servette should be able to play their best available eleven in this match, with both managers opting to line up their respective sides in ways that suit their players best in a match of contrast on Tuesday. This FC Viktoria Plzen vs Servette Geneve FC preview highlights how both teams will approach this contest with their preferred tactics.
Plzen’s manager has a very pragmatic style, one which ensures that his players sit deep, are solid at the back and look to pounce on their opponents when they counter.
Plzen’s defensive structure and pacey, clinical nature has made them very difficult to break down in European qualifiers, while their ability to dominate midfield areas with their creative players will be key. According to our FC Viktoria Plzen vs Servette Geneve FC prediction, Plzen’s organization could provide them with a crucial edge.
Servette, on the other hand, are much more about possession and will press their visitors, looking to outnumber Plzen in possession and build-up play. They will seek to impose their tempo on the match, but whether they can break through Plzen’s mid-block will dictate the game.
The value lies in Plzen’s favour
The hosts look overpriced ahead of this game, with the FC Viktoria Plzen vs Servette Geneve FC odds of +133 much more generous than their opponent’s +176, with a draw priced at +230.
Given that these sides have identical recent form (W2, D1, L2 across their last 5 in all comps), both have nothing to lose and everything to gain in this European qualifier, and neither side holds a momentum edge, it’s a toss-up which side will go through and get closer to the lucrative European group stages or be relegated to secondary continental tournaments. The FC Viktoria Plzen vs Servette Geneve FC betting tips suggest a balanced match with slight value on the hosts.
With Plzen being more solid defensively, averaging less than a goal conceded per game (0.8) in their recent matches, we’re going for a narrow home win.
Servette will surely score with their positive style and average 1.6 per match recently, but Plzen’s ability to keep things tight will see them squeeze out a victory. Furthermore, this FC Viktoria Plzen vs Servette Geneve FC prediction analyzes both teams’ attacking threats and likely game plans.
Plzen’s average of 2.4 goals per game, combined with Servette’s recent lack of defensive solidity (1.8 goals shipped per game), suggests that BTTS is the second-best option after Plzen in the outright market.
