HJK vs Viktoria Plzen Match Analysis and Prediction

Viktoria Plzen will begin their Champions League qualification campaign when they travel to Helsinki Football Stadium in Helsinki, Finland to take on HJK in the first leg of their second round tie on Wednesday night.

HJK needed penalties to knock out Rigas Futbola Skola in the first round and will look to continue their charge to the group stage of the competition. The Finish outfit claimed a 1-0 win in the first leg at home before suffering a 2-1 loss in the second leg at away, but managed to claim a 7-6 victory on penalties.

Toni Koskela’s side head into the Tuesday’s clash odd a confidence boosting 3-1 home win over Vaasa in the Veikkausliiga, extending their unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions. The win also marked their fifth home win in the last seven games across all competitions, and they will be keen to extend the run as they seek a first leg advantage over Plzen.

Viktoria Plzen won the Czech First League title last season to book an automatic spot in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers.

With the Czech top-flight still yet to kickoff, Plzen have been involved in pre-season preparations ahead of the fixture, but it has not been all smooth for them as they have endured a mixed bag of results. Michal Bilek’s side scored 15 goals across three friendly wins against Slovan Bratislava, Taborsko and Slavia Karlovy Vary, but they failed to triumph in any of their final three exhibition games with Botosani, Sint-Truiden and Besiktas.

However, have lost nine of their last 11 away matches and will look to keep this fine run going as they hope to reach the Champions League proper for the fourth time in their history.
