Sparta Prague vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
In contrast to the Champions League, the Europa League is already struggling with its attractiveness, which is why games in front of ghost scenes are extremely bad. However, Sparta Prague will have to play the qualifier against home crowd against Trabzonspor without spectators due to the UEFA suspension. In the absence of home support, the guests will not really have an away feeling, which is why we at Sparta Prague against Trabzonspor a forecast on the guests would not rule out. The Black Sea club has not lost a game for quite some time and is traveling confidently to Prague.
The preparation was not bad from the point of view of the Turks, but in contrast to Sparta Prague the match practice from the competitive matches is missing. The Czech record champion has already started the league and completed the fourth matchday last weekend. The dress rehearsal before the Europa League qualifier against Pribram was a 3-0 success. In addition to some injury worries in the squad, especially the lack of domestic support will be a decisive factor against the Turks. Trabzonspor played strong at the end of the season and wants to continue in this upcoming season. The kick-off is on Thursday evening at 17:00 in the Generali Arena in Prague.
Sparta Prague:
Sparta Prague have again missed the championship in the Czech league and had to settle for third place behind champions Slavia and runner-up Pilsen. Since 2014, the Czech championship was no longer able to win the trophy in the Fortuna League and lags behind some expectations. After the strong start to the season of Slavia Prague, it remains to be seen whether Sparta Prague, the flagship of the city, will gradually be replaced by the city rivals. During the summer break Vaclac Jilek brought a new coach on board, who should bring the team back on track.
In the 0-2 home defeat against Slovacko there was a disappointing season opener for the Jilek team. The “Zelezna Sparta” was able to recover from the defeat and remained unbeaten three times. With the recent home victory over Pribram the dress rehearsal succeeded before the Europa League qualification. So far, Sparta Prague has not had convincing performances, which is why there is not much to speak about in the duel between Sparta Prague and Trabzonspor. In the last two years Sparta Prague has been eliminated prematurely in qualifying for the Europa League and could not prevail against Serbian clubs such as Red Star Belgrade and Spartak Subotica.
With the Black Sea club is a strong offensive on the last but susceptible defensive of the Czech representative. Already at the recent home victory against the underdog from Pribram Sparta Prague had not put in a good position on the defensive, came away with the white vest even more lenient. An away goal will be difficult to avoid in a similar performance of the Jilek team, so it remains to be seen if the Sparta coach’s tactical orientation in the qualifier will change.
Serious departures were not to cope in the summer. There was reinforcement with Graiciar, Kozak, Vindheim and Travnik. With Guelor Kanga and Benjamin Tetteh also the two internal top scorer were kept in the team. Kanga was able to shine for the season opener with four goals and two assists in the first four league inserts. As the hub of the Sparta offensive, the 28-year-old Gabonese will also be in demand in the Europa League match against Trabzonspor.
Trabzonspor:
With numerous new entries Trabzonspor starts in the new competitive season. The Black Sea Club got for the first time in years again an international right to start and is looking forward to the Europa League adventure. With Sparta Prague, there was no easy task for the Turks right at the start. The team structure could be kept largely stable in the summer, with Yusuf Yazici but there was a finish with a bitter aftertaste. The Trabzon youngster was the decisive man in the offensive and conducted the game of the Black Sea Club. Trabzonspor was in dire need of the lucrative transfer of the Yazici sale due to financial worries.
Many newcomers were already involved in the preparation and have left a good impression in Trabzonspor. With Ivanildo Fernandes and Alexander Sörloth Trabzonspor has recently strengthened even further. In addition to promising young players in the squad, coach Ünal Karaman can also rely on experienced games such as John Obi Mikel, Jose Sosa or Joao Pereira. Overall, the overall package at the Black Sea Club, whether Trabzonspor can participate in the title race in the Süper Lig again, will soon show. In preparation for the new season Trabzonspor has not lost a single friendly match and has scored a total of six goals in the last three games.
The strong offensive game, it is now also in the qualification against Sparta Prague tie. At home, Trabzonspor can build on the huge support of their own fans, who had been waiting for years for the next international adventure. In order for the Black Sea club to ensure a good starting position, an away goal at the Geisterkulisse in Prague has the highest priority. As in the last Süper Lig season, Karaman will be offensive to his side and put pressure on the Sparta defense from the start. It remains to be seen how the match will unfold without offensive director Yazici. Onazi, Sari, Dursun and Firatcan will miss the first leg injury.
