On Wednesday night, Viktoria Plzen and Bayern Munich clash in Group C of the Champions League as the visitors look to continue their excellent European record this season.
The Czech team continued their recent inconsistent run of form at the weekend, as they saw off Mlada Boleslav 2-0 in their domestic league. The win means that Viktoria Plzen has won two of their previous five games in all competitions.

While they have an excellent recent record in the Czech Liga, Viktoria Plzen has lost all three games in Group C against Barcelona, Inter and Bayern Munich. They have also conceded at least two goals in all three defeats in the Champions League.
Their 2-1 home defeat by Inter in gameweek two ended a five-game unbeaten run on home soil for the Czech team in the Champions League.
The Bavarians come into this game on the back of a 2-2 home draw with arch-rivals Dortmund in ‘Der Klassiker’. An Anthony Modeste goal in stoppage time earned BVB a point and denied Bayern a third straight win in all competitions.
Bayern has certainly produced their best results this season in the Champions League. Julian Nagelsmann’s team has won all three games in Group C against Inter, Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen without conceding a goal.
The visitors have also scored at least two goals in all three of their victories. Another win would qualify the visitors for the competition's last 16.
The 5-0 hammering of Viktoria Plzen last time out means that Bayern have won 11 of their previous 14 games in the Champions League. Bayern has also won six of their last eight away games in European football’s elite competition.
Forebet predicts Bayern Munich will record a win in another high-scoring encounter to make it four straight wins in Group C.
