Viktoria Plzen vs Slovan Liberec Prediction 25 July 2026
🔊 On July 25, Viktoria Plzeň host Slovan Liberec at the Doosan Arena in the opening round of the new Czech First League season. Plzeň are among the usual title contenders, and they got more good news before the campaign kicked off - this time on the European front. Slovan will try to make it competitive against one of the favourites, but recent head-to-head record isn't on their side.

Victoria finished last season in third place and are once again among the main contenders for a high finish. They're solid at home, score plenty and remain one of the more reliable defensive sides in the league. Pre-season was busy: after a high-scoring defeat to Young Boys (3-5), they wrapped up their preparations with a comfortable win over Polissya (2-0).
The big news in July was UEFA's decision to exclude Karvina from European competition for the 2026/27 season. That ruling meant Victoria Plzen skipped the early qualifying rounds and went straight into the Europa League play-off round, which gave the club more time to focus on preparing for the domestic season opener.

Slovan Liberec Team Overview
The visitors' last official match took place in the Club Friendlies tournament - Sankt Pölten at home, Slovan away. Final score: 1-3.

- Possession: 57% vs 43%
- Corners: 4 vs 2
- Fouls: 10 vs 8
- Yellow cards: 0 vs 1
- Shots on target: 6 vs 2
Slovan remain a solid mid-table side, but they struggle for consistency against the top teams. Away from home especially, the problems are clear - chances go begging and the transition from attack to defence keeps letting them down.
The squad went through significant changes in the summer. Vasil Kushej and Jan Bořil returned to Slavia when their loans ended, and Tumani Diakité joined them on a permanent deal. Young striker Patrik Edeh, meanwhile, went out on loan to Arsenal Česká Lípa for more playing time.
