Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Copenhagen 2-1 Odense
Friday, August 11 at 6pm in Danish Superliga

We say: Sparta Prague 1-1 Copenhagen (a.e.t, Sparta to win on penalties)

Sparta's dogged defensive display in the first leg was all well and good, but the Czech champions will likely have to show more attacking intent if they are to keep their European dream alive, which could leave them susceptible to a goal-happy Copenhagen. While we feel that there will be a couple of goals in this contest, it is still too difficult to pick an outright winner, but with the Prague crowd behind them, Sparta can progress from 12 yards to move one step closer to the group phase.
