AS Monaco vs Sparta Praha Predictions and Betting Tips
Stade Louis II is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as AS Monaco and Sparta Praha go at each other in the second leg of the UCL third qualifying rounds. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Goals in either half from Tchouameni and Volland were more than enough for the first-leg victory as Niko Kovac’s troops picked up a first-leg victory. Although there are lots to play for, they would be looking to put this tie to bed in the early stages of the second leg.
AS Monaco looking to replicate first leg performance
Having finished 3rd in the league last season, lots would be expected of the Monaco-based side as they look to push for the top-two or even the title. They didn’t start the season on the right track having picked up a point at home against FC Nantes during the weekend. As such, we expect Niko Kovac and his troops to be looking towards bouncing back after the weekend’s minor setback.
At the moment, Sparta Praha is the side to beat in the Czech first division as the defending champions lead the way on the standings. They picked up their third league win in three games as they comfortably got the better of MFK Karvina. It hasn’t been the same for them in Europe with the side not featuring in the UCL group stage since the 05/06 season. Although they still have a mountain to climb this Tuesday, we can’t quite write them off for this second leg.
AS Monaco vs Sparta Praha Prediction: 2-0
AS Monaco didn’t have any trouble dealing with Sparta Praha in the first leg. We don’t see them having any trouble this week as well as they are expected to go through to the playoffs.
