Viktoria Plzen vs Dinamo Minsk Betting Tips

Viktoria Plzen are coming into this game at the perfect time for them. They have won all of their last four games, scoring 11 goals en route and not conceding at all.

This brought an end to their mini spell of somewhat poor form, where they failed to win any of their previous four games and were eliminated from Champions League qualifying by Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Due to their relatively poor start to the season they find themselves in 4^th position in the Czech Liga table with 11 points from their opening six games, but it seems they are hitting their stride now.

They do have a bit of recent pedigree in this competition as well. They were eliminated in the 3^rd round of qualifying last season, but before that had reached the last 16 two seasons in a row.

Before that they had managed to reach the Champions League group stages, finishing in 3^rd position and going into the last 32 of the Europa League.

Dinamo Minsk don’t have the same sort of record as their opponents in continental competition. They have only reached the group stages of the Europa League twice, including this season.

They did manage to get past Salzburg in the playoffs this season though, a feat that not many expected. The Austrians took them to penalties after both teams won 2-0 at home, but it was the Belarus side that triumphed at the spot kicks.

Dinamo Minsk also have a lot more match practice under their belts this season, having already played 19 league games this season.

Their 38 point haul from these 19 games puts them in 2^nd place in the Belarus Premier League, but they are eight points behind leaders BATE.

Viktoria Plzen are the overwhelming favourites for this tie in the bookies eyes, and I agree with them. But considering the home side haven’t conceded in their last four games, and that Dinamo Minsk have only scored once in their last four games, I think that odds of 11/8 for Viktoria Plzen to Win to Nil are excellent value.
