Sparta Prague Preview – Can Sparta Prague bounce back?
The hosts did manage to do just this last time out in the Czech Republic Czech Liga with a 3-2 home win against Sigma Olomouc which saw the hosts respond in positive fashion to last week’s 1st leg 2-1 defeat away at Rapid Vienna, and now with home advantage behind them for this return leg, Sparta Prague will still fancy their chances in this deciding leg.
Sparta Prague have lost just two of their last 14 matches in all competitions but both of these losses were pre-season friendlies and both away from home, while results on home turf have been pretty impressive; Sparta Prague have won eight of their last nine home games overall.
However, on the Champions League stage, Sparta Prague have failed to win any of their last six ties overall but they have lost just two of their previous eight ties at home in this competition.
Rapid Vienna Preview – Can Rapid Vienna finish off their hosts?
Last week’s 1st leg 2-1 win over Czech Republic outfit, Sparta Prague, became Rapid Vienna’s third win on the trot in all competitions and has also placed the Austrian visitors in a favourable position ahead of this return leg in Prague on Wednesday night.
However, Rapid Vienna were sent crashing back down to earth on the weekend with a surprising and disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga last time out which ended the visitors’ previous unbeaten run of seven matches.
Results in the Champions League have been fairly reasonable as Rapid Vienna have lost just two of their last eight ties overall, winning four of thee, but the bigger picture shows that the visitors have won just four of their last 15 ties overall and just two of their last eight ties on the road.
