Viktoria Plzen vs Manchester United: Europa League prediction, kick-off, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds
Manchester United look to bounce back from consecutive defeats as they travel to face Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
Ruben Amorim’s side were beaten by Arsenal in the first major test of the new manager’s reign and followed that with a defeat against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday, emphasising the size of the task facing the Portuguese boss.
With a trip to Manchester City this weekend and a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham after that, it feels essential that United return to winning ways here.
They are unbeaten in Europe so far this season, but three of those have been draws and they sit 12th in the table.
That is one place ahead of Czech side Plzen, who have scored one goal fewer but otherwise have an identical record.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Viktoria Plzen vs Man United is scheduled for 5:45pm BST kick-off on Thursday, December 12, 2024.
The match will take place at the Doosan Arena.

Viktoria Plzen vs Man United team news
Plzen are expected to be without Svetozar Markovic, after he was forced off in their league match against Karvina over the weekend.
Leny Yoro could make his first European appearance for United, having started against Forest last time out.
However he could face competition in defence, after Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof both took part in first-team training on Wednesday.
That leaves Luke Shaw as the only player currently unavailable to Amorim.
Viktoria Plzen vs Man United prediction
United are in the middle of a tough run of fixtures and anything but a positive result here would only increase the levels of scrutiny ahead of matches against Man City and Tottenham.
Amorim’s side do not look convincing at the back, particularly from set-pieces, and Plzen are capable of taking advantage of any lapses in concentration.
Draw, 1-1.
