Preview

Match preview

FK Jablonec welcome Plzen to the Strelnice Stadion in round 11 of the Czech Liga, with four points separating the sides in the table. The hosts occupy sixth place with 17 points and boast a reliable home record of three wins, one draw, and one defeat, having scored in every league fixture in front of their own supporters so far this campaign.

Plzen arrive sitting 11th with 13 points, but their league matches have been among the most open in the division. Across 10 league games, Plzen have scored 20 goals and conceded 17, producing high-scoring affairs on their travels where they average 2.3 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per match. They enter this fixture without defenders V. Jemelka and J. Paluska, along with M. Tvrdon and P. Adu.

Historical encounters between these two clubs have consistently produced entertaining contests. The last 10 head-to-head meetings have delivered an average of 3.9 goals per match, with eight of those fixtures clearing the 2.5 goal mark. With Jablonec consistent in front of goal at home and Plzen possessing both a sharp attack and a porous defensive unit, another open contest is likely.

Confidence

Plzen have seen 37 goals scored across their 10 league matches this season, an average of 3.7 goals per game. Their away fixtures are even more open, yielding an average of 4.1 combined goals. Jablonec have failed to score in none of their five home league matches, scoring eight times and conceding four. Furthermore, eight of the previous 10 head-to-head meetings between these clubs exceeded 2.5 goals, with the series averaging 3.9 goals per game. With Plzen missing key defensive personnel in V. Jemelka and J. Paluska, both attacks should find scoring opportunities.
