Plzen's recent form shows remarkable defensive organization but concerning attacking limitations. They've drawn their last three Europa League matches, including goalless stalemates against Freiburg and Fenerbahce, plus a scoreless draw at Panathinaikos. Domestically, they've been inconsistent with a heavy 5-3 defeat to Slavia Praha followed by victories over Banik Ostrava and Dukla Praha. Their home European record includes draws against top-quality opposition, suggesting they can frustrate better teams. However, scoring just six goals in six Europa League matches highlights their main weakness. Key absences include defender Hejda and creative midfielder Kopic through injury.
