2nd Head to Head Clash
These two sides locked horns for the first time last week in Alkmaar.
Sparta Prague Rarely Miss to Score
Sparta Prague were lucky to escape the Netherlands with a minimal 2-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar last week, their opponents missing series of chances to make their lead much bigger.
Brian Priske’s side looked strong in the Conference League group stage, ending this phase with three straight victories over Legia Warsaw 1-0, Universitatea Craiova 2-1 and Aberdeen 3-0 to finish 4th.
Their efficiency was fantastic last weekend in the Czech First League, beating Slovacko 5-2 in front of the home crowd with Jan Kuchta netting a brace. They ended this clash with 3.22-1.65 expected goals and 18-15 shots.
AZ Deserved More Than Minimal Advantage Last Week
AZ Alkmaar created eight goal opportunities in last week’s tie against Sparta Prague but scored just twice, taking a 2-1 lead with Troy Parrott netting a brace.
They were beaten in the Conference League Round of 32 first leg at Noah 1-0 but recovered at home and advanced with a dominant 4-0 display, Sven Mijnans scoring twice.
AZ also looked great in the Eredivisie last weekend, crushing Heracles 4-0 in front of the home crowd, Parrott starring once again with one goal and one assist. These three points pushed them up to 6th place.
