Sparta Prague vs Atletico Madrid

Head-to-head Sparta Prague vs Atletico Madrid

The paths of the teams crossed for the first time. Sparta Prague vs Atletico Madrid, Previously, Sparta and Atletico have not met in either official or friendly formats, which adds interest to the upcoming game.

Sparta Prague

Sparta is clearly far from optimal form. Even in the Czech First League, where they are champions, things are frankly bad. With a 14-point gap from the leader, defending the title seems an almost impossible task. Unsurprisingly, in the Champions League, the team is also not shining. They started energetically, gaining four points in matches against Salzburg (3:0) and Stuttgart (1:1), but then suffered absolutely deserved defeats from Man City (0:5) and Brest (1:2), dropping Lars Friis’s guys to the bottom of the table.

Before the match against Atletico, there are two key losses in the hosts’ lineup. We’re talking about Birmancevic and Preciado – two starting players. However, they missed the previous round as well.

Atletico Madrid

The “Los Colchoneros” have gradually emerged from a series of negative results, having already won five consecutive victories. The team is having a very productive November. Among their domestic successes stands out an away victory over PSG (2:1) in the Champions League. In terms of play, Simeone’s squad was certainly not stronger than the Parisians, having only four shots on goal during the match, but they still took three points. Sometimes the Argentine reverts to a defensive style, and it yields results.

As for the visitors’ infirmary, there are two players – Lemar and Le Normand. Also in question is Nahuel Molina’s participation in the game, who missed the last round of the Spanish Primera.

Prediction on goals

In a match against an opponent of this caliber, even away, Atletico should not play defensively, so we recommend betting on total over 2.5 goals. This bet has played out in 7 consecutive matches for “Los Colchoneros” in the Champions League, as well as in 6 out of Sparta’s last 7 matches in all competitions.

Prediction on corners

Neither team places a strong emphasis on corners. Atletico averages 4 deliveries per game, while Sparta even less – 3.8. At home, “Los Colchoneros” could pin the opponent in their penalty area and rack up corners, but away, this probability is extremely low. Therefore, we bet on total under 9.5 corners.

Match prediction

There is no feeling that Atletico will easily remove Sparta from their path. Simeone’s team still lacks stability – after delivering one top match, they can completely fail the next one. However, the Czech champion is in crisis, as evidenced by only one win in their last seven matches. Considering also the significant difference in skill level, the visitors should collect maximum points in Prague. Our key bet is Atletico’s victory, with a predicted score of 1:2.
