PLZEŇ, CZECHIA – As dem dey prepare for serious match for Doosan Aréna, Viktoria Plzen go welcome SC Freiburg dis Thursday night for Europa League matchday 5. E no go funny abeg, as both teams still dey find their footing inside this competition.
Plzen don struggle small for their league, no win any match for three straight. If dem no turn am around, di fans go start to scatter dem heads (trust me, fans no dey joke when e come to disappointments). But no be say dem dey fall inside Europe oh; dem don hold ground without defeat.
On di other side, Freiburg no dey carry last. Dem don gather three wins and one draw – dem dey flex muscles like Napoli for Serie A! Even though dem get serious beat from Bayern Munich (6-2, abeg na wetin dey happen?), dem fit still bounce back, e fit be like semicolon for dem.
No serious injury trouble for both teams. Freiburg manager Julian Schuster fit focus on dis matter without looking back. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh dey ginger chance to return but no dey fit hold ground yet. Meanwhile, Plzen get Jan Paluska and Jan Kopic for sidelines; their defense sweet well well (or be dat na mirage?).
As dem dey prepare to enter di battle, Plzen fit roll out with 4-3-3 formation like dis: Jedlicka – Doski, Dweh, Jemelka, Souare – Cerv, Valenta, Spacil – Memic, Durosinmi, Ladra. Freiburg go run 4-2-3-1 formation: Atubolu – Treu, Ginter, Lienhart, Makengo – Eggestein, Osterhage – Beste, Manzambi, Grifo – Adamu (abeg, make we no call di game for World Cup).
Both teams don dey complain for defence lately. All di fans wey wan see golo golo go dey in full force. E fit be serious match wey dey on top scoreline matter. Betting man dey predict say dem fit share di spoils; maybe 2-2, or better better.
No mind me, I just dey small gist. Na football, e go just be like say we dey chop suya while dem dey utilize di pitch. Na so life be, as dem dey chop clean mouth for palm wine. Make we dey keep eye for di match, because this one go burst brain!
