Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Match Preview and Prediction
Liverpool vs Sparta Prague: In their previous eight games in all competitions, Liverpool had won seven and drawn one. In the past two games that Sparta Prague lost to Viktoria Plzen and Liverpool, they gave up nine goals. In the last six games, Sparta has scored four goals or more in five different competitions.
Liverpool’s crushing 5-1 victory in the first leg of the last-16 round seven days ago in the capital of the Czech Republic has all but moved them to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. The Reds’ dominance in the first leg against Sparta Prague amply validated their label as favorites, making this Thursday’s rematch at Anfield only a formality.
In one of the season’s most significant games, Jurgen Klopp’s team tied Manchester City 1-1 on Sunday afternoon. After the German manager benched Mohamed Salah, they played bravely again. Darwin Nunez had another great game after scoring twice in the first half in Prague last week.
Sparta Prague again lost heavily. On the road at Viktoria Plzen, they lost 0–4 three days after losing to Liverpool. Head coach Brian Priske is worried about the trip to Anfield after his squad has conceded nine goals in two games. Sparta Prague leads the Czech Liga, but they trail local rivals Slavia by one point in the domestic title.
Liverpool vs Sparta Prague: Betting Analysis
In the 2001–02 UEFA Europa League season’s final 32 round, Liverpool and Sparta Prague squared off. Back then, the Reds went ahead 1-0 on aggregate. Liverpool easily defeated the Czechs in the first leg of their R16 match this season, scoring five goals in Prague seven days prior.
It is highly probable that Jurgen Klopp will alter his starting lineup a lot following the match against Manchester City last weekend. The German manager does, however, have access to a wide range of excellent players. Whoever wins on Thursday will have a strong desire to establish his value.
Liverpool has a much more talented squad than Sparta Prague; therefore, we may expect another easy win. After another tough domestic setback over the weekend, the visitors are in dreadful form. Bet on Liverpool to win by two goals or more at 1.75.
Recently, Spaeta Prague’s back line has been unreliable. They conceded nine goals in their last two losses to Viktoria Plzen and Liverpool. In their last six games, they’ve scored four goals in every competition. You know Liverpool’s offense. Supporting Over 3.5 goals FT at 2.00 odds makes sense.
