Liberec vs Sparta Prague: Preview, Free Tip & Prediction

30.07.2021 14:30

After the successful qualifying round of the Champions League, Sparta will face its first trip in the new league season. On Saturday from 19:00 they will present themselves on the grounds of Liberec, which, unlike the ACS, did not succeed in the opening round and is still waiting for the first points of the season.

Basic information, news and team form

Last year, Liberec narrowly missed out on European football. They have also lost a number of key players over the summer: gone are Mosquera, Sadílek, Pešek or Karafiát. As usual, Slovan entered the new season with a significantly changed line-up. On the other hand, Slovan was strengthened by Gebre Selassie, Meszáros or the duo of Novotný and Havelka, who came on loan from Sparta. Last weekend, Liberec did not manage to secure a win in the first round, losing at home to Slovácko 0:1, even though the guests played from the 69th minute with a man sent off. 

Sparta, on the other hand, succeeded in the opening round when it defeated Olomouc 3:2 at home. However, the main goal of July was to manage the second qualifying round of the Champions League against Rapid Vienna, which Sparta did thanks to a huge home win. On Tuesday evening, ACS will play the opening match of the third qualifying round at home against Monaco. Due to the demanding program, changes in the line-up can be expected in Liberec. For example, the left-back Höjer limped from the match with Rapid and his start would be a surprise.

 

 

Betdoin analysis

Betdoin's algorithm sees goal potential in the match. Value can be found in over bets (for example, over 2.5 in odds over 2), over 1.5 Sparta goals is also an option as Betdoin estimates the fair odds at 1.97. The odds for the guests' goals are approximately at the same level as the Sparta win itself, so they are an interesting alternative due to the sometimes leaky defense of the ACS.

Absences and probable reports

Due to the relatively narrow staff, not much change can be expected in Liberec, but Havelka and Novotný will certainly be missing, who will not be allowed to start by the loan clause. Novotný only took turns against Slovácko, but Havelka was in the starting line-up and it will be necessary to replace him. Due to the above-mentioned demanding program, Sparta can be expected to have at least a partial rotation of the set, and Hložek, for example, could rest.

 

 

Liberec - estimated line-up:

Knobloch - Fukala, Gebre Selassie, Pourzitidis, Mikula - Koscelník, Nečas, Faško, Mészaros - Matoušek, Rabušic

Sparta - estimated lineup:

Nita - Wiesner, Štětina, Hancko, Polidar - Krejčí, Sáček - Krejčí, Dočkal, Pešek - Juliš
