CSKA Moscow vs Plzen Prediction & Betting tips
The Russian team has what it takes to manage the times and to generate scoring situations. For that reason and considering that it is compact between the lines, we believe that the bet “CSKA Moscow will win any half” is interesting to bet. At stake is to add 3 important points in their fight to qualify for the next Europa League. It paints to be an intense duel for the proposal of the Czechs, which are characterized by defending badly. In the end, the local can win well or badly, as it has better offensive players.
CSKA Moscow:
The team has only 4 points in the group, letting out much of their chances of qualification in the two games they played against Roma. Both lost and with it practically sentenced his fate in the group. His goal will be to win to reach 7 in the table and strengthen their ability to qualify for the next Europa League. For this duel it is expected that the Russians advance the lines and attack from the initial stage, as their opponent is characterized by defending poorly. The logic indicates that they take advantage of the spaces they have and that they score a goal in the first minutes of the game.
As a local in the Champions League, CSKA Moscow has reaped diverse results, after beating Real Madrid 1-0 and losing 1-2 against Roma. If we analyze both meetings, we can affirm that the team is combative in its actions. However, this is not enough to be reliable in terms of results. The game against the Italians was bad in many aspects, the main one being the defensive one.
Viktoria Plzen:
The Czech side has only one group in the group, after leveling 2-2 against CSKA Moscow on the opening date (2-0 partial advantage). Then he added 3 consecutive losses, which sank him in the last position of the competition. Now his goal is to make a decent presentation and not receive another win. He comes from losing 0-5 against Real Madrid at home, leaving an extremely negative image. Apparently, the team fights the matches it disputes, but ends up losing because of its lack of individual hierarchy.
As a visitor in the Champions League, Viktoria Plzen has played two games so far and both were negative for his interests. First he lost 5-0 to Roma in the Olympic stadium and then dropped 2-1 to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. If we analyze these results, we can affirm that the team defends badly. Of course, his performance in Italy was catastrophic, improving its actions in Spanish territory. On this occasion, the starters are expected to back off the lines from the initial whistle, being vital not to receive a goal in the first 25 minutes of play. What they will not stop doing is trying to score, being even feasible that they have a lethal backlash.
The only game that both teams held on Russian territory was in October 2013 for the Champions League. On that occasion, the local team won 3-2 after the referee whistle (advantage 2-1 in the initial stage). Under our perception, the process of the match can be similar, not ruling out that CSKA score in the first half and resolve the process sooner than expected. However, it can also be a duel with goals, as the Czechs are intense when they intend to attack.
