Europa League 2025-2026: Viktoria Plzen-Porto, the likely lineups

Porto visits Viktoria Plzen on the penultimate day of the Europa League single group stage. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at the Doosan Arena. The Dragons are seeking their third consecutive win to stay in the top eight, while the Czechs, still unbeaten in the competition, are in the middle of the playoff zone.

Hysky must do without Jemelka and Dweh, both disqualified, in defense: room for Havel and Spacil in the center. Midfield dike formed by Cerv and Valenta, in attack Adu, with Ladra, Vydra and Souaré in support in the three-quarter.

Farioli is banking on Samu in attack, with William Gomes, favored over Sainz, and Pepê completing the trident. In the midfield, Varela is ahead of Rosario, while in defense, ex-Juventus Alberto Costa on the right and ex-Spezia Kiwior in the center.

Probable lineups

Viktoria Plzen (4-2-3-1): Wiegele; Memic, Havel, Spacil, Doski; Cerv, Valenta; Ladra, Vydra, Souaré; Adu. All: Hysky.

Porto (4-3-3): D. Costa; A.Costa, Bednarek, Kiwior, Moura; Varela, Froholdt, Mora; Gomes, Samu, Pepê. All: Farioli.
