Prediction: 2-1
Aris Limassol
Buoyed by a 5-0 win over Slovacko, Sparta Prague will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Aris Limassol in their Europa League opener. Talented midfielder Adam Karabec is back from the domestic ban, while defender Jan Mejdr continues to miss out with injury. Jan Kuchta should continue leading the line for the hosts despite failing to find the net in the last league match.
The Green and Whites, on the other hand, were producing fine displays in the qualifiers and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Sparta Prague are capable of scoring in front of home fans, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. As for the away team, Sweden forward Leo Bengtsson is pushing for a start after scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Paphos at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Sparta Prague):
Established in 1893, Sparta Prague is one of Europe’s oldest clubs and the most successful side in Czech Republic, having won no fewer than 36 league titles and 27 Czech Cup trophies. The club play their games at the Generali Arena in Prague and hold a long-lasting rivalry with Slavia Prague.
Sparta Prague enjoyed their Golden Years in the 1960’s, when average attendance was nearly 40,000 and players like Jiri Tichy, Andrej Kvasnak and Vaclav Masek entertained the crowds week in week out. Rudi largely impressed in the maiden Champions League campaign during the 1991/92 season as they finished second in the semi-final group, meaning they were among top 4 European sides at the moment.
Nevertheless, Sparta Prague have enjoyed little to no success on the European stage since, reaching the Champions League knockout stages on just one occasion, with their latest major coup the return of prodigal son Tomas Rosicky from Arsenal.
