Sparta Praha and Monaco will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Czech Liga. That game was an away game at Slovan Liberec, so at least Sparta Praha are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Sparta Praha form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Champions League for Sparta, as the manager P. Vrba led his troops to eliminate Rapid Wien, and reach the 3rd Qualifying Round. Last season, Sparta's Europa League journey ended in the group stage.

When playing at home in the Czech Liga, Sparta Praha have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 1 games. Sparta has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Jablonec defeat 111 days ago.

It's back home for Sparta, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Slovan Liberec away with the result 5-0. Adam Hložek, Filip Souček, Jakub Pešek, Ladislav Krejčí and Adam Karabec found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Sparta "killed" Slovan Liberec in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Previous to that game, a Champions League home match hosting Rapid Wien in a game that was won 2-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Sparta as they have a new game in only four days, a Czech Liga match thankfully also at home. Karvina are visiting.

At Generali Arena, Sparta Praha has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
