Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Groupama Stadium as Lyon and Sparta Prague lock horns in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifying tie. Les Gones suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat in the first meeting, but they will be determined to turn things around on home soil. Lyon have been particularly strong in front of their supporters, winning five of their last seven home matches and averaging 2.86 goals per game in that period. Both Nuamah and Fofana are pushing for starting roles after coming off the bench in the first leg, while summer signing Lois Openda could drop to the bench following an underwhelming performance in Prague.
Sparta Prague arrive in France with a narrow advantage and plenty of confidence after another impressive European performance. The Czech side have won six of their last ten matches, scoring 1.7 goals per game on average. They have no fresh injury concerns, although Andersen, Cobbaut, Penxa, Uchenna, and Vindahl remain unavailable. Sparta’s away form is less convincing, with just one win from their last four road games, and they will need to be much more disciplined defensively against an attacking Lyon side. With both teams showing plenty of attacking quality, another entertaining encounter is expected.
Lyon should respond strongly at home and have enough quality to overturn the deficit. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Lyon Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (4 of the previous 5 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 20:00.
