Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – HJK or Viktoria Plzen and Total goals under 3.5 – 1.71.

Viktoria Plzen to win

HJK had tough matches against Riga in the first round, and they need to improve a lot against Viktoria; otherwise, their chances of qualifying for the next round will decrease.

HJK or Viktoria Plzen and Total goals under 3.5

For our second prediction, we will back a less risky bet. In Viktoria Plzen’s last 5 away games, there were scored fewer than 3 goals. Thus we will back combo bet, HJK or Viktoria double chance and Total goals under 3.5.

Preliminary review and match prediction for HJK vs Viktoria Plzen

HJK had difficulties progressing from the first round of the Champions League qualifiers, knocking out RFS Riga.

The Finnish champions claimed a narrow 1:0 win in the first leg while falling to a 2:1 loss in the reverse game. The Latvians were leading 2:0 at home and were close to reaching the UCL 2nd round, but HJK pushed the fight into extra time.

However, the luck was with the guests that evening, as they earned 7-6 penalty shootout victory against RFS Riga.

On the other hand, Viktoria Plzen will begin their UCL 2022/23 path from the 2nd qualifying round. The Czech first league champions had 7 pre-season games (W4, D2, L1).

They started well with 4 wins but failed to taste victory in the previous 3 matches. The last one was against the Turkish side Besiktas, which ended in a goalless draw.

However, it should be noted that Plzen have lost only two matches in 30 games across all competitions.
