Europa League
Sparta have four points after two games in the Europa League and is in the race to qualify for the spring phase. This time, the Czech representative will face the favourite of the group, the French Lyon, which have great quality. The visiting team has made great progress in recent years, with a progressive coach Peter Bosz, who has coached Dortmund, Ajax and Leverskusen in the past. All of this teams have played a lot of offense under him and he has a similar plan for Lyon.
But the squad also has a huge quality at the back, with the arrival of Brazilian-born Emerson from Chelsea and Boateng from Bayern Munich in the summer. In addition, the Belgian international Denayer or Dubois, who is going to the French national team, are already active in defence.
It is no coincidence that the visitors have not conceded in the Europa League yet and have a positive 5-0 score. Lyon got to the good mood for Sparta this weekend, beating Monaco (2-0) at home on Saturday, the team that easily knocked out Sparta from this year's Champions League.
It will be very difficult for Sparta to push through the opponent's two big stoppers. Lyon, on the other hand, has all the prerequisites to beat Sparta at Letná, the only chance for the home team is a possible underestimating by the opponent.
My prediction: Lyon @ 1.83 (bet365)
