LiontipsSparta Prague vs Atletico. Prediction (odds 2.65) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Sparta started their Champions League campaign with enthusiasm, confidently beating Salzburg 3-0. Then there was a draw with Stuttgart (1-1), and then two defeats: a crushing defeat by Manchester City (0-5) and a minimal defeat by Brest (1-2). Thanks to these results, Lars Fries' protégés are in 26th place in the standings, just one point behind PSV, who are in 24th place, which allows them to get into the playoffs. The upcoming opponent is very difficult, and if they manage to at least not lose, it will be considered a phenomenal achievement.
Sparta is not in the best mood for the upcoming match. The team has not known victory for four games in a row (two draws and two defeats). Even in the national championship, things are not going well. In fourth place, the gap from the leader Slavia is already 11 points.
Sparta game schedule is not to be envied . After the upcoming match, the Czech team will have three more rounds left in the Champions League. The easiest one will most likely be in December against Feyenoord, but the January clashes with Bayer and Inter do not bode well, especially when you see that the club is losing points in the national championship with teams like Teplice and Mlada Boleslav.
Disqualifications and injuries
Preciado, Birmancevic and Zeleny are injured and will not appear on the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sparta can't win three matches in a row at home
- The hosts have scored in five matches in a row
- Sparta have conceded in five of their last six home games
Approximate lineup: Vindal - Vitik, Panak, Kobbout - Wisner, Lyachi, Kairinen, Rynesh - Danek, Olatunji, Garaslin.
Current form
Atletico Madrid are approaching the upcoming match in excellent shape, having won five matches in a row in all tournaments. What is noteworthy is that in four games of this winning streak the “mattress makers” scored twice, so it is safe to say that Diego Simeone’s charges have complete order in the attack line.
In the Champions League, Atletico plays with varying success. In four rounds played, the Madrid team managed to surprise fans of European football three times. There was nothing unusual in the first round - a victory over Leipzig on their home field with a score of 2:1. But in the second match, the "mattress makers" flew off with a bang from Benfica, acting as the obvious favorite. And it should be noted that the defeat was crushing (0:4). Then the fans were waiting for rehabilitation on their home field in the confrontation with Lille, and in that match the Spaniards lost with a difference of two goals (1:3). Well, the cherry on the cake was the victory in the fourth round over the French PSG on the road with a score of 2:1, and in that match the odds for the victory of Simeone charges were 7.00. These indicators allow the team to be in 23rd place in the tournament table, and this position allows it to get into the 1/16 finals.
The visitors have a sad statistic of goals scored and conceded in the Champions League. In all the matches played, they managed to score five times, while they conceded almost twice as many - nine. In the match with the upcoming opponent, there is an excellent chance to improve this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Le Normand, Lemar and Molina are all out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atletico have won their last five matches
- On the road, the "mattress makers" have scored in their last three matches
- The visitors have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five meetings.
Estimated line-up: Oblak - Azpilicueta, Lenglet, Witsel, Galan - Llorente, Barrios, Koke, Lino - Correa, Griezmann.

In the last two rounds of the Champions League, Sparta completely failed in defense, conceding seven times in two matches, while only managing to score once. Atletico, on the contrary, is inspired by its successful performances, including an away victory over PSG in the fourth round of the European Cup. We believe that this confidence will allow it to win the upcoming match by a difference of several goals.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Atletico with odds of 2.65
Bet on total
Many claim that Sparta is fearless on its home field. Yes, this season the Prague club has scored in all 13 games with local fans. But let face it. They have never played against an opponent of Atletico level. Their most serious opponent is Brest, and in that match the hosts scored as late as the 92nd minute, when the French began to celebrate their triumph in the match. We believe that Sparta scoring streak on their home field will end in the confrontation with the Spaniards.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on corners
Atletico average 6.3 corners per match, while Sparta averages 4.6. The visitors to the upcoming match have a much better record, so we'll bet on their corner victory once again.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) corners for Atletico with odds of 1.60
