Sparta Prague vs Liverpool prediction
Czech outfit Sparta Prague will be relishing the opportunity to go lock horns with European giants Liverpool in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 matchup. A top-of-the-table clash at the weekend between them and 2nd-placed Slavia Prague ended goalless and pretty much maintained the status quo on the domestic front where they continue to enjoy a 4-point cushion as we head into the homestretch. They now turn their attention to Europe as they bid to upset the bookies in this clash.
Liverpool are on a fairytale run in Jurgen Klopp’s final season. A 1-0 win at the weekend in the Premier League ensured they remain top of the standings by just a point. They are still on course for a historic treble having already bagged the EFL Cup. Fixtures are getting fast and thick in light of this as they have a tough FA Cup match on Sunday against Manchester United coming up.
The Reds are playing with a lot of confidence at the moment. We fancy them to come out with all guns blazing here as they try to get an edge in this first leg. We expect a close game nevertheless but we fancy Liverpool to win on the Draw No Bet option as our opening Sparta Prague vs Liverpool prediction

Our Sparta Prague vs Liverpool predictions
According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:
Prediction 1: Liverpool Win (Draw No Bet)
Liverpool come into this match on the back of a 5-game winning streak. They have just been taking care of business despite the numerous injuries they are dealing with.
They have also not lost to Sparta Prague in their two H2H meetings and will look to maintain that here.
Sparta have been solid too and we expect them to be a tough nut to crack. However, it is impossible to ignore Liverpool’s record in this competition this season and their performance in European competition in general. They have much more experience at this level and we fancy that will work in their favor. We are therefore picking them to win this game on the draw no bet option which has terrific prices at 1Win

Liverpool’s last three games have witnessed no more than a goal at halftime; the same has been witnessed in Sparta’s last 2 games.
Their 2 H2H matchups had just one goal scored in this very competition.
We expect both teams to be cagey in the opening half as they try to figure each other out. We are therefore picking the opening half of this game to have no more than a goal scored with terrific odds for this option offered at Paripesa

Prediction 3: More Corners Liverpool
Liverpool have been absolutely pummeling teams in this incredible run they are on at the moment.
They have had more corners than their opponents in 9 of their last 10 matches across all competitions. This is mostly a factor of their attacking style of play and Klopp’s propensity to play high-up pressing game with his wings and to dominate possession
We expect this style of play to continue here, with Liverpool attacking and the home side Sparta Prague sitting back and hitting back on counterattacks. As a result, we are backing this match to have Liverpool taking more corners as our final Sparta Prague vs Liverpool prediction here.
