When to watch Sparta vs Liverpool?

Sparta will welcome one of the best teams of today to their stadium on Thursday evening. Although Liverpool are missing several key players, they will arrive at Letná in the position of a huge favourite. The match will start at 18:45 CET on Thursday 7 March.

Sparta have nothing to lose, Liverpool’s huge squad

Sparta maintained its four-point lead at the top of the Fortuna Liga by holding Slavia, its closest pursuer and also its old rival, to a goalless draw. That can only help them ahead of their match against Liverpool.

If the team of the Danish strategist Brian Priske wants to think about promotion, they must not lose at home. The team from the Czech capital would like to build on their 4-1 win against Galatasaray.

Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table. However, they have only a two-point lead over third-placed Arsenal, so the Europa League will not be a priority for the Reds. In addition, Liverpool will play Manchester City this coming weekend.

German coach Jürgen Klopp is missing several key players, including goalkeeper Alisson. Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones will also be unavailable. A question mark also hangs over the start of Mohamed Salah.

Betting tip – Sparta to lose

I expect Brian Priske to prepare his charges perfectly for this match. Moreover, they will have a huge motivation to perform their best. Sparta could at least get a draw at home and prepare a good starting position for the rematch, thanks to several absences of the visiting team.
