Slavia Prague, on the other hand, had 32 attempts at goal, with Václav Jurečka (7') and Mojmír Chytil (71') finding the net.

Looking at historical results, Dynamo České Budějovice has struggled against Viktoria Plzeň in away games, failing to secure a win in the last 12 league encounters, indicating a poor away form. Additionally, Dynamo České Budějovice has not won away from home in their last 17 league matches, suggesting a level of desperation for an away victory.

When I look at the two teams, I see that the home team is more than capable of winning, and because the away team is not expected to exert any pressure, I am confident that they will win in what should be a high-scoring match.
