Samu worth more than the entire Viktoria Plzen squad | OneFootball

This Thursday, at 5:45 PM, two of the youngest teams in the Europa League face off. Based on minutes played, FC Porto has an average age of 24.9 years, only surpassed by Salzburg, the youngest at 24.2. Plzen, which had some departures in this market, has two suspended players and one injured, leaving them with 18 field players, ranks sixth among the 36 teams, with an average age of 25.4 years.

The difference in the value of the squads is, however, noticeable. Having a more valuable and higher quality team does not guarantee that the ball will want to go into the opponent's goal, but it does make FC Porto the favorite. There's no need to refer to international achievements: the market valuation given by "Transfermarkt" highlights a gap that the Czechs will try to narrow on the field and that Porto wants to confirm. After the latest update, Farioli's team is valued at 422.4 million euros, about eight times more than Plzen, valued at a modest 49.3 million euros.
