Sparta Praha and Lillestrøm met recently in the Europa League in mid-September, and that match ended with a scoreline the home side tonight will remember well. Now they meet again in the same competition, but the context for both teams is quite different from that night. Sparta Praha have won five in a row, and in their own league they have picked up victories with several clean sheets, while Lillestrøm have not won any of their recent matches, but they have not lost in their last two. Their heavy league defeat came only once in their last five. The home side clearly dominate possession and shoot on target more over their last ten games, while Lillestrøm create fewer chances but still find finishing opportunities consistently. This game is likely to play out with Sparta Praha dominating possession and pushing high, while Lillestrøm sit back and wait to counter. If the home side score early the game could open up, but if the visitors hold out until late, there is a real chance the scoreline stays close.
