Sparta Prague vs Salzburg Preview

Sparta Prague’s results have been impressive so far, winning 11 of 13 matches across competitions. Salzburg didn’t look defensively in their most recent game against Rapid Wien (lost 3-2), so I see value in backing the home side.

Salzburg have a 1-0 advantage against Sparta Prague with 1 draw in 2 matches.

They last met in July, a friendly match ending in a 2-2 draw.

Sparta Prague Form

Sparta Prague had an amazing run in the UCL qualifiers, eliminating Shamrock Rovers 6-2 on aggregate, FCSB 4-3 on aggregate and Malmo 4-0 on aggregate in the playoffs.

They are in red-hot form in the Czech Liga too, claiming 19 out of possible 21 points from seven matches and sit at top of the table.

After a surprising 2-2 home draw against Slovacko, Sparta Prague returned to winning ways in their most recent appearance against Hradec Kralove 2-0 in late August, Lukas Haraslin and Albion Rrahmani on target in the first half.

Sparta Prague Injuries & Team News

Imanol Garcia de Albeniz is ruled out for this match, while Jakub Pasek and Roman Mokrovics recovered from injuries and might start on bench.

Veljko Birmancevic is having a great start to the new season, scoring six goals across competitions.

Salzburg Form

Salzburg started their Champions League qualifying campaign with a 2-1 home win against Twente, the second leg in Holland ending in a 3-3 draw. They eliminated Dinamo Kiev 3-1 on aggregate in the playoffs.

The Bulls are currently 5th on the Bundesliga table with nine points from four matches, having three victories and a loss so far.

After earning three consecutive wins against Grazer AK 3-2, Blau-Weiss Linz 5-1 and LASK Linz 1-0, Salzburg suffered their first defeat earlier this month against Rapid Wien 3-2.

Salzburg Injuries & Team News

Fernando, Leandro Morgalla, Maurits Kjaergaard and Takumu Kawamura are injured.

Karim Konate and Daouda Guindo are travelling to Prague but are labelled as doubtful.

Verdict

Sparta Prague v FC Salzburg

Sparta Prague are looking strong this season, winning 11 of their 13 games. Salzburg didn’t look great in their recent match in Wien against Rapid (lost 3-2), so I am backing the Czech side on Wednesday. Home win & BTTS is a value bet.
