Bayer Leverkusen vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
The BayArena faithful will be in full voice this week when Bayer Leverkusen take on Sparta Prague in the final round of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday night. Die Werkself will start the night in eighth place on the table, while Iron Sparta are down in 29th. Check out our match prediction below!
Bayer Leverkusen are on 13 points and are guaranteed a spot in the round of 16, but there is still a risk of them slipping out of the top eight with five other teams also on the same points tally. Die Werkself have the slenderest of advantages - one goal better off Aston Villa in ninth - meaning they will be looking to win this match by a good margin to strengthen their chances of staying in the top eight.
Sparta, on the other hand, will be taking their final bow of the competition in this match. With four points to their names, they will not be able to qualify for the last 16 regardless of the outcome of this fixture. To the key stats!

Bayer Leverkusen - Sparta Prague: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen were left gutted last week when they fell three spots in the standings, beaten on the road 2-1 by Atletico Madrid in a match where both sides ended the game with 10 men.
However, they will be optimistic about their chances in this match, given that they have won all three of their home games in this competition and did not concede a single goal in those matches.
Die Werkself are now unbeaten in their last 12 major European matches (W9 D3 L0)!
They are also looking to keep a fourth consecutive home clean sheet, and if they can, it would be the first time they have done so since the 1987-88 UEFA Cup.
Meanwhile, Sparta Prague made a very promising start to their Champions League campaign with four points in their first two games, but they were unable to continue in that vein.
Five consecutive defeats followed - a period during which they conceded 18 times while scoring just four themselves, which ruled them out of contention for a spot in the knockout round.
Iron Sparta are winless in their last 15 away games in the Champions League (W0 D3 L12) and conceded 38 goals in that time dating back to a 1-0 victory over Porto in 2001.

Bayer Leverkusen & Sparta Prague Squad Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen will have to make do without the services of Piero Hincapie for this clutch match, as he was the player sent off for two bookable offences last weekend against Atleti.
Martin Terrier is out for the season (Achilles), Amine Adli is ruled out with a broken leg, while Jeanuel Belocian and Matija Marsenic are long-term absentees owing to cruciate ligament tears.
Nigerian international Victor Boniface could feature for Die Werkself after a two-month injury lay-off!
Sparta Prague delivered a much better performance last week against Inter Milan and Lars Friis may be tempted to field an unchanged 11, as his side looks to cause one more upset before exiting the competition.
The visitors will be unable to call up Angelo Preciado and Imanol Garcia, both of whom are ruled out through injury, while Albion Rrahmani is flagged as a doubt due to illness.
Indrit Tuci missed last week’s defeat with an unspecified injury and is also questionable for this match.
