Monaco vs. Sparta: Preview and betting tips

Monaco will face a home rematch of the third round of the Champions League on Tuesday, with Sparta Prague coming to their home ground. Will the home side confirm their role as clear favourites or will Sparta win sensationally?

Monaco have everything in their hands ahead of the return leg. Thanks to goals from Aurélien Tchouaméni and Kevin Volland, they won 2-0 at Letná and can afford to lose by a goal at home.

Sparta is also in a good mood before the rematch. The main goal was to qualify for the Europa League, which they did by beating Rapid Vienna, and the Champions League would be just the icing on the cake.

Monaco rely on the goal-scoring attacking duo of Wissam Ben Yedder – Kevin Volland, combined these two were one of the best in Europe last season. Winger Gelson Martins also deserves attention.

Pavel Vrba can be satisfied with the performances of summer signing Jakub Pesek, who is both a goalscorer and very physically fit. Dávid Hancko and Adam Hložek are also a support, just like last year.

Sparta relies on a goal attack, scoring at least two goals in four of the last five games.

And this could be true for Monaco, as the princely team has only been held to zero in one of the last four games.

Given that Monaco have recorded from the first match, I think the score will be tied after 30 minutes.
