AI match recap
Plzeň have the home setting, a pressing edge and the greater urgency after a difficult start to their league-stage campaign. Levski are a composed, technical opponent and arrive in steadier recent rhythm, but their attacking return in Europe has been limited. The decisive issue is whether Plzeň can sustain their tempo without reopening the match through loose defending in the final phase. Rotation is unavoidable, making the impact of the home substitutes especially important.
Injuries and absences
Jemelka’s knee absence removes an established Plzeň defensive option at a time when the hosts are already trying to improve their late-game control. Levski’s missing Kirilov and Mitkov reduce depth in attacking and midfield areas, while Bouras remains a late fitness call.
