by Sridhar Bhamidi in Champions League Predictions
Two sides looking to end their long exile from the Champions League will be in action in the third qualifying round as Sparta Prague welcome FCSB. This first-leg match at the epet ARENA in Prague on Tuesday comes with the prediction of a home win.
The winner of this two-legged tie will go on to play the winner of Malmo vs PAOK in the playoff round, while the loser drops down to the Europa League. A win in the first leg will be massive in the overall scheme of things, something Sparta would be keen to muster. They have won their last five matches in a row, including a 6-2 aggregate win over Shamrock Rovers in this competition in the previous round.
That included a 4-2 win at this venue, and Sparta have been consistent scorers this season so far, including the friendlies. They have scored at least two goals in their nine matches this season, something that would worry the visitors. FCSB needed a very late goal against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the previous round to reach this round. That helped them win the second leg 1-0 after drawing the first leg 1-1.
The visitors have struggled to close out matches with only one win from their last four matches, drawing two and losing one. With even that victory coming off a last-gasp goal, FCSB has a lot of work to do to keep the free-scoring Sparta at bay.
