Happy days for Sparta in their previous game, a Czech Liga match away at Karvina that ended with a 2-1 victory.

Brøndby form and stats
Brøndby's mission in Champions League last season failed in the play-offs against Salzburg.The visitors are W2-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses both home and away. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Sparta Praha.
Home advantage was not enough for Brøndby in their previous game, as they lost their Landspokal Cup-match, hosting Midtjylland, 0-2.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Randers in the Superliga.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Brøndby when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brøndby manager N. Frederiksen as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Midtjylland.
Brøndby have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 11 goals have been scored. Brøndby struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games.
