Sparta Prague vs. Viking: preview and betting tips

Sparta Prague has its first game of the 2022/23 season ahead of it, as it will take on Norway’s Viking in the second round of the Conference Europa League. How will its opponent fare and what to bet on in the match?

The 2022/23 season is here and with it comes the European Cup. Three Czech teams will enter them this week, one of those teams is Sparta Prague.

The latter finished third in the league, which means that they will face the second preliminary round of the European Conference League, in which they will play the Norwegian Viking from Stavanger.

The latter has already played its competition and now has played sixteen games and is in third place with 28 points, which secures qualification for the ECL.

However, it has played two more games than fourth-placed Bodo/Glimt, who are three points behind. The fight for the top three will definitely not be easy and Viking will have to work hard.

In addition, it has won only three of its last ten league games, drawn four and come away defeated in the other three, so it will not be in ideal form against Sparta.

However, the team hasn’t been shining in the last month either, the demanding preparation according to the coaches did bear its fruit, but it didn’t really show in the performance.

In the preparation they beat Dukla, Opava and Rijeka, then fell to Wolfsberger and drew with Paksi. How do the bookmakers see the match? They favour Sparta, they are playing at home and the odds of 1.56 correspond to that.

What to bet on? Sparta have not played convincingly, but in their last game they showed that they can get chances. As long as they convert them, Viking shouldn’t give them much trouble.
