Viktoria Plzeň vs Union Saint-Gilloise Preview

Czech First League outfit Viktoria Plzeň host Belgian Pro League club Union Saint-Gilloise at Doosan Arena Plzen, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 17 September.

Viktoria Plzeň have endured a disappointing start to the First League season, collecting ten points from eight games and winning just twice. Last time out, Radoslav Kovac's team suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Sigma Olomouc.

Pro League leaders Union Saint-Gilloise are unbeaten after six matches, recording five wins and a draw. The Saint-Gilles outfit produced a 5-0 home victory over Lommel at Stade Joseph Marien in their previous outing, having 50% possession and registering twelve shots on target, with Raul Florucz scoring twice.

Main Match Prediction

There are several reasons why Over 2.5 Goals can land when it comes to this Europa League game. Value can be squeezed from taking this betting angle and the -119 that is currently available makes appeal.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (domestic league and Europa League matches):

  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 7 of the last 10 Viktoria games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 3 of the last 5 Viktoria games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in the last 4 Union games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 8 of the last 10 Union games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 13 of the last 20 Union games.

We use the latest Europa League injury and suspension information to come up with the best possible football predictions. You will also see that we sometimes take a stats-led approach by considering the key numbers.

Over 2.5 Probability

The best betting sites make it a 54.3% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our tipsters research has found that the actual probability is closer to 60%. It’s the reason why we are recommending this bet.
