The UEFA Europa League Round of 16 begins with an exciting match of Sparta Prague vs Liverpool. This first-leg match, taking place in Prague, is set to be an exciting showdown as the Czech champions aim to cause an upset against the English giants.

How Are They Performing 

Sparta Prague, leading the Czech league with 60 points, heads into the match in a commanding position. Brian Priske's team has only suffered one defeat in their 23 league matches, with three draws. Their recent 0-0 draw against second-placed Slavia Prague, despite demonstrating clear gameplay advantages, highlighted their defensive resilience. In the last Europa League round, Sparta achieved a remarkable comeback against Galatasaray, turning a 2-3 loss in Turkey into a convincing 4-1 win at home.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is dealing with the challenge of ongoing injury concerns. Despite their position at the top of the Premier League, they are still facing challenges due to personnel problems. The team's recent victory over Nottingham Forest was secured by a dramatic last-minute goal from Darwin Nunez, shedding light on the team's ongoing challenges. With an important Premier League match against Manchester City on the horizon following the Sparta Prague game, manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to put out a slightly unconventional lineup.

Predictions On The Sparta Prague vs Liverpool Match

Even with the anticipated alterations in Liverpool's lineup, they are still the top choice based on statistics. Nevertheless, Sparta Prague's strong position at home, along with their current performance and desire to showcase their abilities, sets the stage for an uncertain match.
