Sparta Prague vs Lille Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Sparta Prague vs Lille
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 22, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK
Venue: Generali Arena, Prague.

Sparta Prague have boosted their confidence for their Europa League clash with Lille, so we should see an interesting game.

The hosts have a maximum of 18 points in the Czech Republic League in six matches, although their performance is also very good in the cup competitions.

Lille are also top of Ligue 1, much stronger, after seven rounds, directly challenging PSG for this year's title.

The French team have been chosen as favourites, currently priced at 1,95, but Sparta are definitely not to be underestimated. They haven't achieved much on the European stage for a long time and are thirsty for big victories.

Sparta Prague vs Lille Prediction

Sparta Prague were once standard members of the UEFA Champions League group stage, but that hasn't been the case for the past six years. They couldn't even compete with Viktoria Plzen and Slavia Prague in the domestic league, usually finishing as third or fourth team in the end.

It looks like the tide has turned with the arrival of Vaclav Kotal. The team is doing very well, winning six consecutive victories in the Czech League. Some of the most notable results so far are the 5-2 win over Karvina and the 2-1 home win over strong Jablonec. They were knocked out of the Europa League the last three years before reaching the group stage by Red Star Belgrade, Spartak Subotica and Trabzonspor.

As for the opponent, Lille continues with great games in Ligue 1. The team now has four wins in the last five games, in addition to four games without conceding goals. During the last weekend, LOSC beat Lens 4-0 at home thanks to goals from Yilmaz, Bamba, Ikone and Yazici. Obviously both teams have great offensive potential, so we believe that the bet of more than 2,5 goals has good value.
