Jindrich Trpisovsky has led Slavia since 2018 and his philosophy has been simple, press the ball, win it back in the upper third of the field, play through the center and then get the ball wide quickly. This is high-tempo football and his teams have been relentless in their pursuit of victory.

Sojka to lead the Plzen attack
Martin Hysky took over at Viktoria in October 2025 and has instilled a very different footballing philosophy in the squad. He is pragmatic and structured, and his team will play at a measured tempo. Plzen will look to remain compact and then grab counter-attacks and set-piece moments to break through.
They will look to exploit the wide areas and Alexandr Sojka is their dangerman, having scored once in his last two league games. For the SK Slavia Prague vs FC Viktoria Plzen prediction, Sojka's threat on the counter will be a big factor, especially given Plzen have won one and drawn one of their last two away league games, so they won’t be an easy beat for the champions on Sunday.
