The patient expects to conquer the rock-solid defense again. Similarly, as was the case in Teplice, at home with Hrad Králové or in both duels with Kosovo’s Drita.
“We will try to find the recipe. It will definitely be centers from the depth of the field and penetrating passes. We will want to make Gzira run, turn the game and get into the box to flood them,” the 28-year-old forward is clear.
If the Maltese team was tactically inspired by the aforementioned Drita, they will not only build a solid defense, but the players will also use every moment and every fight to bide their time. This will definitely blunt the potential pressure of Victoria.

“It will be important that the game breaks down a little. Then we can seal them in defense and score a quick goal. He would kick everyone, not only the player, but also the team and the spectators in the stadium will get caught,” adds Chorý.
Physical condition will certainly play a role. The Victorians are in a busy schedule, playing European cups during the week in addition to the weekend domestic league. Last week they completed a trip to Kosovo, next week they travel to Malta for the return leg.
