Europa League, League phase, Matchday 3. Kick-off Thursday 22 October, 20:00 UK time, at Stadion Mesta Plzne, Plzen.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Nothing to take on FC Viktoria Plzeň against Levski Sofia. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Plzeň should take the points here, even if the table suggests otherwise. Levski Sofia sit 25th to Plzeň's 31st after the hosts lost three of their last six, yet that run masks the underlying football. At home, Plzeň have fashioned the superior chances in four of their last five matches. Levski are improving, creating distinctly better chances across their last four games to claim four wins in six. With both systems mirrored in a 4-2-3-1, Plzeň will control play, but missing Václav Jemelka leaves their defence vulnerable. Levski will threaten on the break, yet Plzeň create too much at home. Clinical finishing decides it.
