Correct score prediction: Servette 0-0 Viktoria Plzen
Servette have a one-goal advantage ahead of this clash and will likely adopt a defensive approach.

Servette preview: No major changes expected
A 13th-minute strike from new summer signing Samuel Mraz handed Servette a 1-0 victory at Stadion Mesta Plzne last Tuesday to give the Swiss side a slim advantage ahead of this meeting.
Coach Thomas Haberli is expected to deploy a back four, with Yoan Severin and Steve Rouiller featuring in the middle of the defence as they did last time.
Anthony Baron and Timothe Cognat will likely retain their double pivot role just behind attacking midfielders Giotto Morandi, Miroslav Stevanovic and Alexis Antunes, while Samuel Mraz plays as lone striker in Haberli’s preferred 4-2-3-1 setup.
Predicted lineup: Mall (GK), Mazikou, Severin, Rouiller, Magnin, Cognat, Baron, Stevanovic, Antunes, Morandi & Mraz.

Viktoria Plzen preview:
A heartbreaking last-minute goal from Nemanja Tekijaski for Jablonec denied Viktoria Plzen all three points at home in their second league game of the season last Saturday. This means that Miroslav Koubek’s side will arrive at Wednesday’s battle to overturn their first-leg 1-0 deficit in uninspiring form.
On the injury front, first-choice goalkeeper Martin Jedlicka was substituted early in the team's agonising 1-1 draw with Jablonec due to an injury and is expected to miss this contest. With this in mind, Florian Wiegele will most likely start in his place.
While the attackers did not come to the party during the first leg, Koubek will likely stick with Matej Vydra, who scored over the weekend, and Pavel Sulc in the attacking midfield, while Prince Kwabena Adu leads the charge in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Predicted lineup: Wiegele (GK), Dweh, Markovic, Jemelka, Memic, Cerv, Ladra, Spacil, Sulc, Vydra & Adu.

Player to watch: Samuel Mraz
Servette have scored two goals in two competitive fixtures this season, and both goals came from Samuel Mraz. The 28-year-old joined the club from Motor Lublin earlier this month and scored on his competitive debut in the first leg of this tie. He will look to extend his scoring streak to three games.
