Our prediction for this Champions League match:

FCSB

FCSB

Sparta Prague

Sparta Prague

Sparkles will be flying when Steaua and Sparta Prague lock horns at Stadionul Steaua in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Romanian champions produced a fine display in the first leg, with the team holding Sparta to a 1-1 draw at epet Arena, but they are still seen as the underdogs in this double-header. Midfielder Adrian Sut has overcome his injury, while Cameroon defender Joyskim Dawa serves a one-game ban. The towering centre-back could be sorely missed in the second leg.

Sparta Prague, on the other hand, kicked off the new domestic campaign in style, with the team keeping their 100% record intact thanks to a 2-1 win over Bohemians. Lars Friis’ troops aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate and we predict that they will take advantage of Joyskim Dawa’s absence. Defender Imanol Garcia is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last Chance Liga game.

0-1

Highlighted Team (Sparta Prague):

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.
