After both receiving byes in the first two rounds, Sparta Prague and Lyon meet this Tuesday for their first game in the UCL qualifiers in the semi-finals. The two have been given a helping hand by not having to endure earlier rounds, and neither will want to throw this away, though both teams aren’t arriving in the most optimal defensive form, making Over 2.5 Goals catch the eye at odds of -125. 

Losing their last three away games in comparison to their top-rate home record, the Czech side knows how crucial this home leg is. They’ve been scoring lots of goals at home, netting three or more in each of their last three, which bodes well. The visitors have also been involved in some high-scoring games during the pre-season, including an away game in the Czech capital against Sparta’s rivals, Slavia Prague, in which they conceded twice. The recent efforts of both suggest this will be a high-scoring game.

Our Sparta Prague vs Lyon Prediction

As we can see from the recent offensive performances of both teams, plenty of goals are being scored, so we shouldn’t be shocked if the game at Epet Arena turns out to be a high-scoring one. 

In their first two domestic competitive games, the hosts have scored four goals, three on home soil, showing lots of offensive quality. However, they’ve also conceded four goals, which suggests that they may struggle defensively against a decent Lyon attack. We can expect goals all round. 

Our Sparta Prague vs Lyon Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.

Prediction:

 

Over 2.5 Goals
