Match Facts

  • Viktoria Plzen have won both of their previous home games against Belgian opponents, with both coming in qualifying for the UEFA Europa League (1-0 v Lokeren in 2012, 2-1 v Royal Antwerp in 2019).

  • Anderlecht have won their last nine European games against sides from Czechia (inc. as part as Czechoslovakia), including a 2-1 win over Slavia Prague on MD6 of this season’s UEFA Europa League.

  • Viktoria Plzen lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United on MD6, as many defeats as they’d suffered across their previous 25 European games (inc. qualifiers) combined (W17 D7). They last lost consecutive games in the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League, losing all six group games.

  • RSC Anderlecht have won four of their six games in this season’s UEFA Europa League (D2), last winning more in a campaign in 2016-17 (6) when they reached the quarter-finals.

  • Matej Vydra has scored in each of his last three UEFA Europa League starts for Viktoria Plzen, netting three goals. Only two Plzen players have scored more than three goals in a major European season – both Marek Baros and Michael Krmencik scored four in 2017-18.
