It is bottom versus top in Group C on matchday two as Real Betis host Sparta Prague. This match will be played at Benito Villamarin with the hosts on zero points and the visitors top with three points after one match each. Betis started their Europa League engagements with a 1-0 loss to Rangers on matchday one. It was a goal scored just past the hour mark that settled the deal on that day. The hosts, however, have recovered a bit of ground after that defeat. They drew two games 1-1 and won 3-0 against Valencia after that loss, recovering a bit of momentum. That said, the loss on matchday one made it three straight losses in the Europa League, something which they would be keen to address.

Sparta started their group engagements with a win, as they defeated Aris Limassol 3-2 in their first match. The Czech visitors conceded first but recovered well to score three goals by the 67th minute to take a 3-1 lead. A late goal reduced the deficit, but their win was comprehensive enough. Following that result, Sparta drew 1-1 and won two games, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches. This sequence saw them win seven and draw one match increasing the hopes of the traveling fans. To go with that, they have won three of their last four matches in this competition, raising the possibility of an upset win here.
