Match prediction: Sparta Prague – Aberdeen
Sparta have been solid at home in European competition and, in my view, are capable of extending their positive run. Over their last five home Conference League matches the Prague side have won four times, three of those victories coming by comfortable margins. The team have also been dependable defensively: across their previous six home matches in this competition they conceded just two goals in total.
Aberdeen have struggled on the road in Europe: in their last six away Conference League fixtures the club failed to record a single win (3 draws, 3 defeats). The Scots’ attacking output has been worrying too — they have yet to score in away matches in this season’s competition.
I expect the hosts to be confident in defence, and their strong motivation should help them claim victory. My prediction: Sparta Prague to win to nil
* The starting line-up shown for each team is the one they used in their previous match in this tournament.
