Sparta Prague - Salzburg: Form Analysis
The squad coached by Lars Friis has prepared for this encounter in the best possible way. One of the best teams in the Czech Republic, they have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions, including the two most recent without conceding a single goal against Kralove and Malmo. To this we can add a goal-scoring average that remains unchanged, as during this period, the Reds have scored two goals per game. Sparta's first major European fixture of the year starts with a perfect performance on both sides of the pitch.
After a successful start to the season, the Red Bulls seem to have hit a slump at the worst time of the year. Dynamo Kiev came close to overturning the situation in the play-offs, before Pepijn Lijnders' men lost 3-2 to SK Rapid in the league. To concede three goals away from home before a European trip does not seem to be the best solution, especially as the home team are virtually invincible in front of their home fans.

Sparta Prague & Salzburg Squad Analysis
Watch out for the Haraslin - Rrahmani duo, who have excelled over the last 180 minutes. Scorers and assistants against the aforementioned opponents, the two members of Sparta's attack are enjoying a period of confidence, which is good for the red-and-black crowd ahead of the start of hostilities. If they don't succeed, the nets are likely to be shaking at the end of normal time.
The Austrians' weakest point after their last league game is their full-backs. Dedic and Kjaergaard need to put in a better performance, otherwise the Czech trio will have a field day. By doing a good job defensively, Nene (3 goals in 5 games) will be able to concentrate on his main objective: making the difference in the last 16.
