HJK vs Victoria Plzen Match UEFA Champions League Qualifiers Match Preview
HJK plays their second round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers while Victoria Plzen enters the competition in the second round of matches. The hosts won all their first round game, starting with a 1-nil victory at home against Rigas of Latvia. HJK went ahead to win their second game of the round one in penalties after losing 2-1 due to away goal rule. In this Round 2 of the competition, the hosts will be hoping to avoid the drama they had in the first round to get a direct entry in the next round of games.
On the flip-side, Victoria Plzen will play their first game in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in Round 2. The visitors have had a great campaign in pre-season matches, losing only once in 7 pre-season friendlies. Plzen was unbeaten in February, March, April and May. The strong showing is expected to continue in this important match.
A strong defence has been the strength of Victoria Plzen and in this trip to Helsinki, Finland; we expect a strong offensive from the visitors. However, it will not be an easy game for the visitors given that HJK play at home and on the back of a 4-match unbeaten run.
