Sparta Prague vs Southampton predictions and betting tips for the Europa League fixture on Thursday 24th November including the best odds for each bet.
A crucial fixture in Group K sees Southampton travel to Sparta Prague on Matchday 5 and we’ve got the best three betting tips for the match.
When these two sides met back in September, the Saints breezed past their opponents. 3-0 was the final score with a double from Charlie Austin and a late strike from Jay Rodriguez capping it off. It was the perfect start to the Europa League for Claude Puel and a poor display from the Czech side. Things have changed since with Sparta Prague bouncing back from a lifeless display with three consecutive victories sending them top. They swept aside Inter 3-1 and also beat Hapoel Beer Sheva at the start of the month and this is looking like a very tough ask for Southampton. They’ve only conceded a single goal in three games since and have kept three consecutive clean sheets in their domestic league. The Saints have also been handy at the back recently holding free-scoring Liverpool to a goalless draw at the weekend, but their attacking play on the road perhaps lacks incision. Since victory at the London Stadium in September, Southampton have won just three of the last ten games, all of which have been at St Marys. They’ve netted just twice in five away games. It’s something Puel will look to amend, but this will be a tough evening in the Czech Republic.
