Match preview
Plzen host FK Crvena Zvezda in this UEFA Europa League clash following a decisive 3-0 victory for the Serbian side in their previous encounter on August 20, 2026. Plzen face an uphill battle after failing to score in that fixture and allowing three goals away from home.
FK Crvena Zvezda enter the tie carrying strong momentum, having followed up their 3-0 continental victory with a 4-0 home win over Cukaricki on August 23. In contrast, Plzen's recent form shows considerable defensive vulnerability, having conceded 14 goals across their last five matches in all competitions, including scorelines of 3-0 against Crvena Zvezda, 5-5 against Teplice, and 3-1 against Slovan Liberec.
With Crvena Zvezda holding a significant tactical upper hand from the reverse fixture and Plzen needing to commit numbers forward to overcome their deficit, the visitors remain well-placed to secure a positive result or at least avoid defeat on the road.
