Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Prediction | Europa League Tips
Liverpool Analysis
Liverpool’s recent form has been notably sturdy, with a sequence of outcomes leaning heavily towards the victory column. With only one stalemate and an otherwise unblemished record in their last five matches, the Reds have been integrating robust defence with lethal offence.
They have managed to keep their sheets clean in three out of those five games. Adding to that, an average goal tally of 2.20 per game encapsulates their attacking prowess.
Sparta Prague Analysis
Sparta Prague’s journey in recent fixtures paints a picture of resilience and tactical fortitude. With a form guide that reads DWLWW, they’ve proven their capability to bounce back from setbacks. They indicated this with an emphatic rebound win after a substantial 4-0 defeat against Viktoria Plzen.
Scoring an average of 1.40 goals per game, the maroon side shows a knack for finding the net. Yet, their sole clean sheet in the last five outings suggests that defensive solidity could be an area for improvement. However, Sparta’s forward line, powered by top scorer Jan Kuchta, has ensured they’ve managed to score in a vast majority of their matches this season.

Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tip
We’re tipping an electrifying over 3.5 goals for this Europa League knockout clash. The rationale for this selection is drawn from Liverpool’s offensive prowess. More specifically, it’s their scoring frequency in the competition and a previous 5-1 thrashing dished out to Sparta Prague.
Expecting Liverpool to unleash their younger talents, another high-scoring affair is on the cards. We concluded this after considering the attacking intent Klopp’s squad tends to display and Sparta’s tendency to find the net this season.
