Sparta Prague
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Rapid Vienna
All eyes will be on Generali Ceska pojistovna Arena when Sparta Prague and Rapid Vienna face each other in a highly-anticipated Champions League qualifier. Rapid Vienna won the first leg 2-1, with the team proving their worth in front of home fans, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Wednesday’s football match. Rapid failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Hartberg at the weekend, which is the main reason why we are not tempted to put our money on the Austrian outfit this time out.
To make things even worse for the visitors, midfielder Srdjan Grahovac is out of contention through injury. Sparta Prague have turned their Generali Ceska pojistovna Arena into a real fortress, and we predict that the Czechs are going to emerge triumphant in the second leg.
Highlighted Player (Michal Travnik):
Michal Travnik is a Czech Republic footballer who plays for Jablonec as a midfielder. Michal Travnik started his youth career at Slovacko and he continued playing for the Metstky fotbalovy stadion outfit at senior level.
After making 66 appearances for Slovacko, in which he scored five goals, Travnik moved to fellow Czech side Jablonec in 2015. The prolific midfielder quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Jablonec and he is likely to play an important role in the Czech team in the 2018/2019 Europa League campaign.
Michal Travnik has 16 caps for Czech Republic U21 team and he made his debut for the senior team in a 1-0 win over Nigeria in June, 2018. The 175cm-tall footballer produces his best performances as a central midfielder, but he is equally good as a defensive midfielder. He has a contract with Jablonec which should expire on June 30, 2020. The player’s agents are GLOBAL SPORTS a.s.
Highlighted Team (Rapid Vienna):
Rapid Wien are considered the most successful club in the history of Austrian football. In 2008 the capital club won their 32th domestic title and in 1995 they clinched their 15th Austrian Cup trophy. Die Grun-Weissen were founded back in 1898 as Erster Wiener Arbeiter-Fussball-Club and one year later the club was renamed to Sportklub Rapid Wien.
In 1904 the club’s colours were changed to green and white and they have been wearing green and white shirts ever since. In 1985 Rapid made it to the Cup Winners Cup final and it has to be noted that they participated in the final competition in 1996 as well. Famous German footballer Lothar Matthaus was in charge of the team between September 2001 and May 2002, but he failed to record a good result with the Weststadion outfit.
Weststadion has been the home ground of Rapid Wien since 16 July, 2016 and you should bear in mind that the capacity of the stadium is 28 000. Rapid’s fiercest rivals are Austria Wien.
