Command Analysis
Viktoria Plzen
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Viktoria have earned three points in three rounds of the Europa League, finishing all their matches in a draw. The Czech team was very close to winning in the previous away game against PAOK. Until the 84th minute, the team was leading 2:0, and from the 70th minute they played with ten men. However, they still could not withstand the onslaught of the Greeks. Before that, they managed to avoid losing to Eintracht (3:3) and Ludogorets (0:0). Overall, considering the level of their opponents, the result is not bad. In the Czech championship, Miroslav Koubek team is in second place in the table after 13 rounds, but it will be difficult to fight for first place, considering that Slavia Prague has pulled ahead by eight points.

6.50Tip and bets
We don't expect more than two goals in the upcoming match. Real Sociedad is a very closed team, if they manage to get an advantage, the Basques rely on defense, and in general they rarely take unjustified risks. Victoria is capable of supporting such football, in general, a draw for the hosts with a representative of Primera can be considered a positive result, they are unlikely to take unjustified risks.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the outcome
Viktoria has proven more than once that it should not be underestimated. The Czechs took points from Eintracht and PAOK, and they may well do the same in the confrontation with Real Sociedad, especially since they will be playing on their home field.
The second bet is a draw with odds of 3.50
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponent to force the action on the field right away. Both teams always play rather cautiously and it is quite possible that a draw will be recorded at the end of the first half.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.20
