Plzen:

In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 33 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 9 matches in this competition, they have only 1 comeback in the 4 matches they suffered in the first goal.
The Viktoria Plzen enters the field for its twelfth exhibition in 2018, but only the third official, since the first nine games played in that year were friendly. However, the team seems to live a good time, since it has been unbeaten for five matches. In their last match, which marked the return of the Czech Championship, the team started a draw away from home against Sigma Olomoun, thus maintaining the leadership in the competition. Before, the Czechs faced Partizan Belgrade away from home and achieved a good draw, which may facilitate their situation in search of qualification for the next phase of the Europa League, as a goalless draw is enough. The 4-2-3-1 should be the tactical scheme adopted for this duel and the coach can make some changes to the starting eleven.
Partizan:
The away team comes to this second leg at a disadvantage, because despite the draw in the first leg they suffered 1 goal at home. This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In the last match they played, for the Super League, they beat Mladost Lučani by (1-2). In their last 4 away matches for the UEFA Europa League, Partizan have 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.

The Partizan Belgrade plays again away from home, having the chance to win their second consecutive victory as a visitor, as it comes from a positive result against Mladost Lučani for the Serbian championship, in which he now occupies the second position, with nine points less than the Red Star leader. However, the visiting team did not manage to take advantage of the field command to build a good advantage over Viktoria Plzen, for the 16-a-final of the Europa League, and now it needs a simple win or a draw with goals, since He allowed the Czechs to score in his stadium. For this match, it is likely that the coach will organize the team in 4-4-2 and this time they will not be able to count on Mitrović, who has a suspension, after being sent off in the first leg.
