Universitatea Craiova are eager to claim a major scalp in the Conference League round 5, but with key defender missing out through suspension, oru prediction leans toward a 3-1 Sparta Prague win. Defensive stability has been a major issue for the Romanians, and things get even more complicated with important defender Nicușor Bancu suspended, removing their most reliable presence at the back. Craiova have conceded two or more goals in every game so far, and their xGA numbers (0.98 overall but heavily skewed by home struggles) suggest they often allow high-quality chances despite limited possession.
Sparta Prague, by contrast, travel with confidence and without any fresh injury concerns. The Czechs have been strong on the road, earning 2.00 points per game away from home, and showing a good balance between attacking output and defensive discipline. Their recent form—four wins in their last five matches—highlights a team that knows how to control European ties and exploit defensive lapses.
With Sparta generating more consistent expected goals and Craiova missing their defensive leader, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals and Over 9.5 corners bets seem appealing.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 11 December 2025 at 17:45.
