Viktoria Plzen vs Levski Sofia is available to watch live. TV channel and live stream options for this Europa League fixture are listed below.
Viktoria Plzen host Levski Sofia at the Doosan Arena in Plzen in a Europa League fixture that carries genuine weight for both clubs.
Radoslav Kovac's Plzen side come into this match having won their most recent outing, a 2-3 victory away at Jablonec in the Czech First League. Their European form tells a different story, though, with defeats to Union St. Gilloise and Ferencvaros in their last two continental outings leaving them in 31st place in the Europa League table.
Levski Sofia arrive under Julio Velazquez with some momentum behind them. The Bulgarian side drew 1-1 with NEC Nijmegen in their last Europa League match and followed that with a cup win over Spartak Pleven, giving them a measure of confidence heading into this away fixture.
Sofia sit in 24th place in the Europa League standings, above Plzen, which adds an extra edge to proceedings at the Doosan Arena.
Both teams are outside the automatic qualification positions and will view this as a match they need to win to keep their European ambitions alive.
