Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Match Preview

• Liverpool won seven and drew one of the previous eight outings across competitions.
• Sparta Prague conceded nine goals in the last two losses to Liverpool and Viktoria Plzen.
• Five of Sparta’s last six outings across competitions provided at least four goals.

Liverpool have all but advanced to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals after a demolishing 5-1 victory in the first leg of the last-16 round seven days ago in Czech capital. The Reds completely justified the favourites’ tag in the first match against Sparta Prague, leaving this Thursday’s reverse game a pure formality at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s men played a 1-1 draw to Manchester City in one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday afternoon. They showed another brave display in a match in which the German manager left his main star Mohamed Salah on the bench. Darwin Nunez produced another fantastic display after netting a first-half brace last week in Prague.

Sparta Prague have suffered another catastrophic defeat in the meantime. They fell 0-4 away at Viktoria Plzen just three days after the mentioned defeat to Liverpool. Head coach Brian Priske has a lot of reasons to be worried ahead of the trip to Anfield as his men conceded nine goals in the last two games. Sparta Prague are still the Czech Liga leaders, but they now sit only a single point above fierce local rivals Slavia in the battle for the domestic title.
