Where it pulls both ways. FK Jablonec are the form side, but the meetings favour Viktoria Plzen: in the last ten meetings, Viktoria Plzen won seven and three were drawn. On goals, their goals for and against point to a tight game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 62%; eight of the last ten meetings went over 2.5, and the meetings settle it.

The case against. Not everything agrees on goals: their goals for and against point to a tight game.
