AI match recap
This is a demanding post-Europe fixture between a resilient Jablonec side and a Plzeň team still searching for domestic consistency under Kováč. Jablonec's home defensive structure gives them a strong platform, but Plzeň bring more attacking threat and an imposing recent record in this matchup. Recovery from Thursday's travel and the midfield contest around Hrošovský are likely to decide which side can impose its rhythm. Expect an intense opening before the match opens up as fatigue affects the pressing.
Head-to-head analysis
Plzeň have not lost to Jablonec across a long recent run, with several high-scoring meetings in that sequence. The visitors' latest win in this rivalry was especially emphatic, although Jablonec's current defensive profile is stronger than that result alone suggests.
Injuries and absences
Jablonec's listed absences reduce their attacking depth, while Mihelak's fitness remains an additional selection question. Plzeň's recovering defensive absences narrow Kováč's options at the back, and Adu's omission removes a further attacking alternative.
