The Czech Cup final between Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague will take place on Wednesday, 22nd May.
Doosan Arena
A solid top team in the Czech league. This season, the gap from the first and second places is quite large, but the team still has decent chances in the Cup battle. If we recall the previous match between the teams, it was a complete rout of Sparta, 4-0, so underestimating the hosts is certainly not advisable.
Since their 1-6 defeat by Liverpool in the UCL, the lads have not lost a single match. They score a lot on average per match but have some minor issues in defence. I believe they should net at least one here as well. The team is on a twelve-match unbeaten streak and is almost in peak form.
Since 2023, the teams have met four times. There is parity here: two wins for Sparta (2-1, 2-1), and two for Viktoria Plzen (4-0, 1-0).
A thrashing of the type 4-0 is definitely not to be expected here, as the stakes are high, and it's unlikely that anyone will push the pace. However, I think it is reasonable to take: both teams to score – yes. The teams are worthy of each other and should display a close and vibrant match.
