Plzen to maintain their dominance
Our FC Viktoria Plzen vs Pardubice prediction is that 4th placed Viktoria Plzen are tipped to maintain their long running dominance over Pardubice this Sunday when they host the 9th placed side in the Czech 1. Liga.
Plzen have accrued 50 points from their 28 league matches this term, fifteen more than Pardubice who have taken 35 points from the same number of outings.
Martin Hysky has moulded his side into a team with a high-tempo, forward-thinking style since his appointment as head coach in October 2025. The hosts like to play with the ball and press opponents high up the pitch, a style of play which requires their dynamic wing-backs to be at their best, and their superior fitness levels to show.
The FC Viktoria Plzen vs Pardubice preview highlights the strong Plzen home record, with seven wins, five draws and just two losses from their 14 fixtures to date this season, conceding a mere 16 goals in the process.
A counter-attacking challenge for the hosts
This Sunday’s visitors, on the other hand, are a more conservative set up, one that is compact, well-organised and counter-attacking.
Jan Trousil has done a fine job since his promotion to head coach in October 2025, transforming the team into a side that are difficult to play through and extremely dangerous on the counter.
Pardubice have won three, tied one and lost just one of their last five matches, and come into this match on the back of a two-game winning run, which included a 2-1 home victory over Sigma Olomouc and a 2-0 away success at Dukla Praha last time out.
A high scoring contest is expected, as a result, and the FC Viktoria Plzen vs Pardubice betting tips suggest the 1.53 odds on the match totaling over 2.5 goals looks fair.
Both teams to score is worth a small wager at 1.74 for this fixture too, as Pardubice may well get on the scoresheet against Viktoria Plzen and Viktoria are scoring goals with regularity.
David Krcik has bagged ten goals in 27 league appearances for Viktoria this term, while Vojtech Patrak has netted 11 times in 22 for Pardubice, making him the main danger man for the visitors. Patrak has also scored three of Pardubice’s last six goals.
Plzen are rightful favorites for this matchup at 1.41, as shown by the FC Viktoria Plzen vs Pardubice prediction, as they have dominated this fixture for years and boast a far superior home record.
However, Pardubice will make things difficult for Plzen this weekend and may well find the net at least once. But the visitors are without a win in two attempts away against Plzen, and we’re tipping the home side to come out on top in an open game.
