Lazio vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction

With a 2-1 aggregate lead and home advantage in their favour, Lazio come into this second leg as overwhelming favourites to advantage over Viktoria Plzen. The Italian side finished the league phase with six wins from their eight games and have carried that form into the knockout stage. Whilst it looked like they’d have to settle for a draw in Plzen, a 98th minute winner edged them ahead.

Expect Lazio to dominate the majority of this contest and although Viktoria Plzen will try to take the game to them from an attacking perspective, the overwhelming strength of Marco Baroni’s men is likely to see them create more chances and ultimately outscore Plzen over the course of 90 minutes. Therefore, back a home victory.
