Latest football match prediction: Plzen vs MU
Ruben Amorim had an impressive start at Manchester United with three unbeaten matches (two wins, one draw), but this was followed by two consecutive Premier League defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. The 0-2 loss at Arsenal and the 2-3 defeat against Forest saw the team drop to 13th place with 19 points after 15 rounds, their lowest since the 1986-87 season. Amorim admitted the team lacked quality and that the rebuilding process would take time.
Before heading to the Manchester derby, Man United will focus on the Europa League, where they have two wins and three draws after five matches, just one point away from the direct qualification spots for the last 16. The last time Man United were unbeaten in their first six European matches was in the 2013-14 season. They are also looking for their first win in the Czech Republic, after three previous away games resulting in two draws and one defeat.
Viktoria Plzen still have a chance to reach the Europa League knockout stage for the second consecutive season, after reaching the quarter-finals of the Conference League last season. Plzen are unbeaten after five group stage matches, with two wins and three draws. After three consecutive draws, they won 2-1 against Real Sociedad and Dynamo Kiev, leaving them just one point behind the top eight.
Pavel Sulc continues to shine with 10 goals this season. Plzen are currently second in the Czech league, with a seven-match unbeaten run (6 wins, 1 draw), but are still 10 points behind league leaders Slavia Prague. They will focus all their efforts on the Europa League, aiming for their first win against an English team, following their defeats against Manchester City in the 2013-14 Champions League.
