Liverpool have had to deal with a lot of injuries lately, a direct or indirect result of their involvement in all competitions as they yet again eye a quadruple opportunity. Liverpool haven’t had great away days in the Europa league this season while Sparta Prague have not lost at home in the Europa league this season. So we predict an entertaining 2-2 draw here.
Liverpool games in the Europa have only failed to produce three goals once this season, and that was a two nil win over Union Saint Gilloise. Sparta Prague games have also been producing goals with six of their eight Europa games so far seeing over 2.5.
Clash of two league leaders as Sparta Prague host Liverpool in the first leg of the Europa league round of 16. Sparta Prague are sitting atop the Czech Republic Synot liga with 47 points from 18 games. They will be hoping to make it to the last eight at Liverpool’s expense, and they just could if they replicate their 4 goals showing against Galatasaray in the last round of games.
Liverpool on the other hand have just won the Carabao cup, they sit atop the premier league table with 63 points from 27 games, a quarter final FA Cup date means the Scousers can once again set their sights on what might just be an historic season in Klopp’s final season with the club, if they can manage the quadruple, but first they need to take a good result from here back to Anfield.
