Lille vs Sparta Prague Soccer Betting Tips – Europa League
Will LOSC compile its ticket for the knockout stages of the Europa League on Thursday?
This will be the challenge of this 5th day of the Europa League, which will see the Lille club host Sparta Prague at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium. After 4 games, Christophe Galtier’s men have 8 points and are in the lead of Pool H, which has been raised because it is also made up of AC Milan, leader of Serie A, and Celtic Glasgow, historic club and Scottish champion in the title. But if the Hoops are already out of the race for qualification, this is not the case for Sparta, a future opponent of LOSC and 3rd with 6 units on the clock.
After a catastrophic start to the European campaign, the Czech club has just chained two straight wins against Celtic in order to revive in this C3. In his defense, the Prague club suffered the end of its championship head-on when the season resumed across Europe and had therefore not played for several weeks. Now that Sparta has picked up the pace, it has proven that it can be a formidable opponent, and Lille should not expect the same health walk as in the first leg (4-1)!

Lille vs Sparta Prague Free Betting Tips
At home and in the shoes of the leader, Lille will be favourites for this match, but the odds in favour of Lille success are far too low given the risks. Sparta Prague has indeed chained 2 big successes against Celtic Glasgow, an opponent that LOSC had not managed to beat at home, and Christophe Galtier’s men are going through a less successful period. We must be careful, especially as a defeat would greatly compromise Lille’s chances of qualifying: both teams to score in this match!
