Sparta Prague Preview – Can Sparta Prague take over at top?
2nd placed Sparta Prague can take over at the top of Group A if they take all three points in Thursday night’s clash against Lyon and having registered a 1-0 home win against Scottish Premiership outfit, Rangers, on Matchday 2, the hosts will be in confident mood.
However, the bigger picture shows that Sparta Prague have managed to win just three out of their last 10 ties overall in the Europa League and this also includes five defeats as well, so they may not get it all their own way here.
In addition, Sparta Prague have failed to win each of their last four meetings against Lyon so this could be another tough encounter for the hosts.
Lyon Preview – Can Lyon win three on trot?
Lyon have made a fantastic start to their Europa League campaign, winning both of their opening group matches by recording wins against Rangers 2-0 away and a 3-0 home win over Brondby which has placed them top of Group A.
Indeed, Lyon have been impressive in previous encounters in the Europa League as the visitors have won eight of their last 10 Europa League ties overall, while also winning their last three away ties on the trot as well.
Lyon have also held the upper hand over Sparta Prague in previous exchanges and the visitors look set for further success here.
