Sparta Prague take on FC Copenhagen this evening for a place in the "round of 32" . Both sides are locked on 7 points. Sparta need a win. Copenhagen just need a draw. At puntinplay we are not sure the Sparta boys will go through.
Sparta have a fair home record in Europe and are unbeaten in five games. This season they have drawn with PSV 2-2 and beaten Cluj 1907 by two goals to zip. They Czech side were on the verge of being the first side to beat PSV this season until a stoppage time penalty from Reis.
In their domestic League they remain unbeaten after 16 matches and are joint top. The slight concern is the home form. In eight games they have won four and drawn four. In three of those four drawn games they have failed to score.
The Czech season finished in November and Prague have only played one Europa game since then. FC Copenhagen have managed to slot in a Superliga win away to Odense. Suspended Repka will be a loss for Sparta.
This game is live on ESPN and is a puntinplay based on how Copenhagen approach the game. The coach says they are going to attack but we think they will play for the draw. This should become clear during the first ten minutes.
If you can't wait for the puntinplay then try a 0-0 at 9.2 with Betfair or 8.5 with Skybet. The magic sign are only 6.5. We don't fancy many goals based on the stats but this is one for the odds on brigade as it currently trades at around the 1.62 (8/13) mark.
