Match Preview
| Viktoria Plzen, currently 2-0 down on aggregate, welcome Sporting Lisbon to the Doosan Arena for the very first time in their history. The hosts face a near impossible task, and if Lisbon score first, Plzen will need to respond with FOUR goals to go through. |
| Everything looks good for Lisbon, but having conceded 2+ goals in three of five European away games this season, they cannot be complacent. Lisbon have also lost ten of their last 16 away games in Europe. |
| It is just a slither of comfort for them, but Plzen are currently on a winning run of six straight EL home games. They have, however, failed to get any further than the last-16 of the Europa League on their last two appearances in the competition. |
| Current trends suggest that this match is unlikely to end goalless, but in a set of contradictory stats, six of Lisbon’s last seven games have produced OVER 2.5 goals, while six of Plzen’s last seven have produced UNDER 2.5 goals. |
| Plzen’s only other competitive home match against Portuguese opposition ended in a 3-1 win over Académica de Coimbra back in September 2012. But the Sporting Lisbon of 2018 is far stronger, with a relatively high number of seasoned internationals amongst their usual starting XI. |
| Players to watch: One of those internationals is the pacy Colombian striker Fredy Montero. He scored both goals in the first-leg, and knows better than anyone how to unlock the Plzen defence. |
| Plzen striker Michael Krmencik appears to be his club’s best hope of progression. He has six goals from eight Champions League and EL matches this season. |
| Stat attack: It will be very tough for Plzen to get the two goals they need, but they’ve scored 2+ goals in 14 of 18 home games this season. |
| For Lisbon, this match represents the club’s first on Czech soil since 1978, when the side lost 1-0 to Banik Ostrava in the Cup Winners Cup. |
