14/03: Daily Predictions: Liverpool vs Sparta Prague

Betting Tips

Liverpool will undoubtedly advance to the Europa League quarterfinals, barring the capitulation that ends all capitulations. However, the Reds must first host Sparta Prague in the second leg of their last-16 match. In their first season meeting, last week at the Epet Arena, Jurgen Klopp’s team defeated their Czech opponents 5-1, although the score did not tell the whole story.

Liverpool vs Slavia Prague

Liverpool’s crushing 5-1 victory in the first leg of the last-16 round seven days ago in the capital of the Czech Republic has all but moved them to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. In the first encounter against Sparta Prague, the Reds amply demonstrated why they were deemed favorites, making this Thursday’s rematch at Anfield only a formality.

In one of the most important games of the season, Sunday afternoon’s match ended in a 1-1 tie for Jurgen Klopp’s team against Manchester City. They demonstrated bravery once more in a game where the German manager rested his star player, Mohamed Salah. After scoring twice in the first half last week in Prague, Darwin Nunez put on another outstanding performance.

Meanwhile, Sparta Prague has suffered yet another crushing loss. Only three days after the previously mentioned loss to Liverpool, they lost 0–4 on the road at Viktoria Plzen.

With his team having given up nine goals in their past two games, head coach Brian Priske has plenty of cause for concern going into the trip to Anfield. Although Sparta Prague is still leading the Czech Liga, they are currently behind Slavia, their fierce local rivals, by just one point in the race for the domestic championship.

Verdict

Jurgen Klopp would probably alter his starting lineup a lot following the match against Manchester City last weekend. The German manager does, however, have access to a wide range of excellent players. Whoever is selected on Thursday will have a strong desire to establish his merit.

Given the situation, we can only anticipate another straightforward win for Liverpool, who have a squad that is far superior to Sparta Prague in terms of talent. After suffering another hard domestic loss over the weekend, the visitors are in terrible form.

It was unfortunate for Sparta Prague not to score more than once in the first leg considering they had plenty of opportunities and seven shots on goal in the first half. The visitors are favorites to score again in this matchup against a team that is even younger than they were in the first game.

In six of Sparta’s previous eight games across all competitions, both teams have found the net and will probably do it again. Liverpool’s youth will be eager to contribute, even though this match might not be as exciting with six goals as the first meeting. It seems like a good choice to go with both teams to score over 2.5 goals.
