Viktoria Plzen vs Man United prediction and odds ahead of Europa League clash

Manchester United find themselves in a challenging position in the Europa League, needing to up their game against a Viktoria Plzen side that has yet to taste defeat in European play this season. The bookies are expecting the Red Devils to come home with the win at 4/7 with CopyBet while Plzen are 15/4 to pick up all three points while a draw is 16/5.

The initial excitement of Ruben Amorim's managerial appointment has faded somewhat, as his tenure has yielded only two victories from five outings. Recent back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have further dampened spirits at Old Trafford. Despite these setbacks, United remain strong contenders for the Europa League crown.

With nine points on the board, securing a win in the Czech Republic would see United through to the knockout stages. However, Plzen have proven to be a tough nut to crack, with teams such as Hearts, Eintracht Frankfurt, Ludogorets, PAOK, Real Sociedad, and Dynamo Kiev all failing to overcome Miroslav Koubek's resilient squad this season. This match is set to be anything but easy for United.

Plzen also sit on nine points and are keen to clinch victory against United to ensure their progression. As both sides battle for a place in the next phase, Manchester United must rediscover their form and reassert their standing in Europe.
