Plzeň vs FK Pardubice Prediction: Home side can not be trusted at all

Doosan Arena will play host to the Czech Fortuna Liga match between Plzen and FK Pardubice when it takes place in the ninth round of competition. The home team is favored to win this match, while the away team is considered to be a significant underdog.

In the Conference League matchup against Ballkani, Plzen will be hoping for a result similar to their previous win, which was 1-0. Luká Kalvach was the only player from Plze to get his name on the scoresheet, as he scored in the 73rd minute. The more recent scorelines of the home team demonstrate that the Plzen rearguard has shown a great deal of resiliency. Plzen have been strong in defense lately, which has led to the total number of goals that have been scored at their end throughout the course of their previous six games standing at 3. In that span, Plzen have scored a total of 17 themselves.

In their last five matches, Pardubice has won two of them, against Banik Sous and Teplice. However, they have lost three of those matches to Slovan Liberec, Slovácko, and Slavia Prague. During those encounters, the away team scored four goals while only allowing three to be scored against them. When playing away from home, Pardubice had a goal-scoring average of 0.63 and a goal-against average of 1.25. There were 16 yellow cards and 2 red cards handed out to the team, while there were a total of 110 fouls committed by both teams. The overall percentage of time that Pardubice has had control of the ball during this season has averaged out at 45.00%.

Plzen and Pardubice have only competed against one another seven times in recent history, with Plzen coming out on top four games to one for Pardubice. There were a couple of games that ended in ties. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Plzen scored 10 goals, while Pardubice only managed to score 5 goals.

Plzen have been playing at an extremely high level as of late, and the home team won their most recent match despite the fact that it was a close contest. On the other hand, the away team is currently in the bottom three of the standings, and given the significance of this game in their quest to climb up the standings, I anticipate that they will at the very least secure a draw in this contest.
