Lyon have won all three of their previous home meetings with Sparta Prague. Les Gones need another one on Tuesday, having lost 2-1 in the Czech Republic last week. See why our Lyon vs Sparta Prague match prediction backs the hosts in this Champions League third qualifying round second leg.
Before that defeat, Sparta had never beaten Lyon. Five previous meetings produced four Lyon wins and a single draw. The three played in France all went the same way. Les Gones won 3-0 in 2021, 2-1 in 2012 and 5-0 in 2004.
In truth, Iron Sparta earned last week's result rather than stumbling into it. They created three big chances to Lyon's one and had more touches in the opposition box. Sparta, who finished second in the Czech First League last season, now defend a lead they have never previously held against these opponents.
It’s true that Lyon have technically lost the only competitive match they have played this season. However, Paulo Fonseca started with an experimental shape in Prague and reorganised after an hour. Les Gones did finish fourth in Ligue 1 last term, and remains the much stronger team in terms of raw quality.

Our Lyon vs Sparta Prague Prediction
Three meetings in France, three Lyon wins. Les Gones have never been beaten by Sparta at home, and until last Tuesday they had never been beaten by them anywhere. Iron Sparta arrive defending a lead, which is unfamiliar territory in this fixture.
They must hold it against a side with no option but to attack. Lyon finished fourth in Ligue 1 while Sparta were runners-up in the Czech First League. Hence, our Lyon vs Sparta Prague match prediction is that Lyon wins.
