Sparta Prague Preview – Can Sparta Prague stay in touch?
A resounding 4-1 win away from home at Celtic Park against Celtic on Matchday 3 has just about kept Sparta Prague’s hopes of a possible top two finish in Group H of this season’s Europa League alive but they’ll need to pick up all three points again on Thursday night against their Scottish counterparts if they’re to have any chance of staying in touch with Lille and AC Milan.
However, that win against The Hoops has been Sparta Prague’s only highlight in recent times as the hosts have suffered four defeats out of their last five matches in all competitions, including back-to-back defeats in Group H against Lille 4-1 at home and a 3-0 loss at AC Milan.
But having got the better of Celtic at Celtic Park last time out, Sparta Prague may well fancy their chances of another win here while goals should also feature as 21 of Sparta Prague’s last 23 matches at home overall have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Celtic Preview – Can Celtic stay alive?
If Thursday’s hosts, Sparta Prague, need a win then visitors, Celtic, find themselves in a ‘must-win’ situation as they have earned just one point to date in what has been a tough and ultimately disappointing campaign in the Europa League and failure to win this Matchday 4 clash against Sparta Prague would end all hopes of a top two finish.
A 3-1 loss at home to AC Milan saw Celtic off to the worst start possible and although Neil Lennon’s side picked up a worthy point in a 2-2 draw at Lille, they were then handed an unexpected 4-1 thrashing at home to Sparta Prague.
Celtic now must take all three points in Prague on Thursday night and having lost just one of their last eight matches on the road in this competition, the visitors stand a chance – previous wins at Lazio, AIK, Riga and Sarajevo will give the Scots a boost for this vital clash.
