We said: HJK Helsinki 0-1 Viktoria Plzen

Despite not being the favourites on paper, HJK Helsinki have enjoyed regular competitive football over the past few weeks, while Viktoria Plzen may be feeling somewhat deflated after an underwhelming end to pre-season. Nevertheless, the importance of Hejda and Kasa's returns to the visitors' backline cannot be understated, and Bilek's side should have what it takes to claim a slender advantage at the Bolt Arena.
