Last five H2Hs: Who will get the first win?

This will be the second duel between Servette and Plzen in their history, after their draw last week. Meanwhile, Servette met with Czech clubs 12 times already and they only managed to win twice, along with three draws and seven losses. On the other hand, Plzen played with Swiss clubs four times, notching a couple of wins, one draw, and one loss.

Plzen preview: Can their fans push them to the next stage?

One of the most dominant Czech teams in the last decade seems to be far from claiming another title since they are currently in third place in the standings in their domestic league, 9 points behind Sparta Prague, the league leaders. On the bright side, the team was dominant in Conference League in group stages where they won all of their matches, so their fans are hoping for a deep run in this competition.

When it comes to team news, Adekunle Durosinmi and Erik Jirka are out with injuries.

Predicted Lineup – Jedlicka – Dweh, Hranac, Jemelka – Kopic, Cerv, Kalvach, Souare – Sulc, Mosquera, Chory

Player to watch: Chris Bedia

One of the key contributors to Servette's great season so far, at least on the offensive end, is the 28-year-old striker from Ivory Coast, Chris Bedia. With 16 goals this season in all competitions, he is the main threat for Plzen to worry about.

Bedia to score from a penalty?

Out of 16 goals Bedia scored this season across the board, five have come from the penalty spot, so Plzen have to be careful not to give Bedia a chance to score from a penalty.
