Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Prediction, Lineups, Results & Betting Tips

Liverpool are continuing their pursuit of four pieces of silverware in Jurgen Klopp’s final season at the club on Thursday night as they host Sparta Prague. The damage has already been done so this tie looks a forgone conclusion coming into the second leg.

Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Stats

• Liverpool are the highest-scoring team in the Europa League this season with the team scoring an average of 3.14 goals.
• Klopp’s side have won 19 of their 22 home matches across all competitions this season.
• Sparta Prague have won just one of their 13 European away matches since the start of the 2021/22 season.

Liverpool vs Sparta Prague Prediction

Liverpool won the away leg 5-1 so it would take a blunder of biblical proportions to let that lead slip. Klopp’s side have been tremendous this season and have already lifted the League Cup. They are still firmly in the title race after the draw with Manchester City. Winning the Europa League is still a target for the Reds. They have previously lost the final of this tournament against Sevilla early in Klopp’s tenure.

Klopp’s side have suffered just one defeat in their last 20 matches across all competitions.  That solitary defeat came at the Emirates as they took on Arsenal.

Sparta Prague were beaten 4-0 by Viktoria Plzen at the weekend so the signs are ominous ahead of this match against a rampant Liverpool side. Despite the setback, Sparta are a point clear of their local rivals Slavia Prague in the Czech First Division.

The Liverpool boss will no doubt make changes to his starting eleven here with an FA Cup match at Old Trafford ahead of them this weekend. However, whatever side takes to the field in red on Thursday night will have enough firepower to do some real damage. Our bet for this match is over 3.5 goals in the match at odds of 49/50 with Unibet.

Liverpool have already played eight home matches across all competitions in 2024. Those games have seen an average of 4.38 goals, 3.25 for Klopp’s men and 1.13 for the opposition. They have kept just one clean sheet over the course of those matches at Anfield so the visitors could well contribute to the goal count despite being huge underdogs.

There have been at least four goals in the match in five of Liverpool’s seven Europa League matches this season with an average of 4.29 goals per game. This bet won in two of those three matches at Anfield.

Sparta Prague have nothing to lose here. They know they will be taking on a second-string Liverpool so expect them to have joy in some phases of the match. Brian Priske’s side had seven shots on target and managed to find the net in the first leg. They were ultimately outclassed and wound up losing the game 5-1. The second leg should play out in a similar manner.

Sparta’s European away matches this season have seen an average of 3.75 goals. Their only away match in the knockout stages so far this season was a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray.
