Sparta Prague vs Brest Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

Be careful not to underestimate this Sparta Prague team which has nothing to be ashamed of its first steps in this Champions League. The Czechs first showed no mercy against Salzburg , winning 3-0 on the first day before managing to hold a very good Stuttgart team to a 1-1 draw in Germany. However, Lars Friis' men were unable to do absolutely anything on the last day, losing very heavily and logically on the Manchester City field 5-0 . In the standings, they are in 21st place and are therefore still virtually qualified for the play-offs. At the same time, in its own championship, Sparta is already left behind in the title race by its neighbor and rival Slavia Prague. They were left with a 1-0 defeat against Viktoria Plzen before hosting Brno this weekend. For their part, Stade Brestois is undoubtedly one of the sensations of this start of the season in the Champions League.

While they were promised hell, the Finistère club won against Sturm Graz 2-1 before going to perform on the pitch at Salzburg 0-4. With confidence, Eric Roy's men then raised the bar to resist the excellent Bayer Leverkusen on the last day, even going so far as to have some regrets at the end of the match 1-1. These very good performances allow the Bretons to occupy 5th place in the ranking in this competition and to consider qualifying at least for the play-offs of the competition. However, it is not the same lemonade in the championship for Stade Brestois which clearly lacks consistency at the moment. The Ti-Zefs are 10th after dominating Reims 1-2 and hosting Nice. 

The full-back Garcia, who arrived from Bilbao this summer, is out of shape at the moment. Coming out at the break against City after being hit during the first period, the formidable Haraslin (3 goals in the league) is not guaranteed to be restored for this match. The Danish coach of this team should, however, renew his confidence in the wingers Birmancevic (3 goals and 2 assists in the league) and Krasniqi (3 goals) and in the striker Olatunji (3 goals in the league, 1 goal in C1). In the middle, we should find the former Ajaccian Laci and the Finnish Kairinen, author of a magnificent free kick against Stuttgart during the 2nd day. Logically, the starting left side Locko, injured for a very long time, will not make the trip to Prague. The young Ivorian defender Zogbé, who was not included on the list of players authorized to play in the competition, will obviously also be absent. On the other hand, the starting central defender The Cardinal is back after missing the Leverkusen reception .

Successful in this competition, summer recruit Sima has already scored 3 times in the Champions League. In the heart of the game, the trio Magnetti, Camara and Lees-Melou should be renewed. The latter city also equalized with a splendid volley against Leverkusen 15 days ago. He is the cornerstone of this team. At the forefront, the pivot Ajorque (2 assists) is expected to start while the precious Del Castillo (3 goals in Ligue 1) should take his place on the right side.
