Viktoria Plzen host Levski Sofia at the Doosan Arena in Plzen in a Europa League fixture that both clubs need to get right.
Radoslav Kovac's Plzen side have endured a turbulent run in European competition. Back-to-back Europa League defeats, including a heavy 0-3 loss to Union St. Gilloise, left them searching for answers before a 3-0 win over Mlada Boleslav offered some domestic relief. Their most recent Europa League outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to Ferencvaros, which keeps the pressure on at home.
Levski Sofia arrive under Julio Velazquez with momentum building. A 2-0 away win over Cherno More Varna in the Bulgarian First Professional League was followed by a 1-1 draw at NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League, a result that shows the Sofia side can hold their own on the road in European football.
Plzen will lean on home advantage at the Doosan Arena, where their support can make a real difference. But Velazquez's side have shown they are not here to make up the numbers.
Both clubs are outside the automatic qualification positions in the Europa League, which gives this match a sharper edge. Points matter now, and neither side can afford to fall further behind.

Team news & squads
Viktoria Plzen vs Levski Sofia Probable lineups
Manager
- R. Kovac
Radoslav Kovac takes charge of Viktoria Plzen for this Europa League fixture, though no confirmed probable lineup, injury, or suspension information is currently available for the home side. Updates will be added closer to kick-off as the squad news becomes clearer.
Julio Velazquez leads Levski Sofia into the match, with team news for the away side also yet to be confirmed. No injuries or suspensions have been reported at this stage, and further details will follow ahead of the game.
Form
Viktoria Plzen head into this fixture with a record of two wins and three defeats from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 2-3 win away at Jablonec in the Czech First League, though that followed a 2-1 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros. Earlier in the run, they suffered a 0-3 loss to Union St. Gilloise in Europe. Plzen have scored eight goals and conceded seven across those five matches, with their European form the clear concern.
Levski Sofia come into this game with two wins, two draws, and one defeat from their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 0-2 cup win over Spartak Pleven, and they drew 1-1 with NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League before that. A 0-1 defeat to Salzburg in Europe remains their only loss in that run. Sofia have scored five goals and conceded two across those five matches, and their defensive record on the road stands out.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs have only one recorded meeting on file, a 3-3 draw in a club friendly played in January 2013, when Levski Sofia hosted Viktoria Plzen. With no competitive head-to-head history between the sides, this Europa League fixture is effectively new ground for both clubs.

In the Europa League table, Levski Sofia sit in 24th place while Viktoria Plzen are in 31st. Both clubs are outside the positions that guarantee progression, meaning this match carries real weight for either side with an eye on climbing into the qualification spots.
