Tip and bets
Sparta already beat one opponent in qualification and played two matches in the domestic league, so physically, Reds are better prepared for the match. But Monaco has a significant advantage on class and Monegasques definitely want to get to the group stage. Guests had to work hard during the previous season to get to the Champions League, so they will be extremely motivated. Czech team won't have many chances for a success.
We think that hosts won't be able to avoid defeat. Our prediction - Monaco to win
Sparta played four official match in this season and scored in each of them, so Reds are unlikely to leave the pitch scoreless. But they won't be able to keep a clean sheet as well - Monaco has a great offensive line, so we should expect a number of goals in this match.
Our second bet is on both teams to score
