FCSB vs Sparta Praha Prediction and Betting Tips | August 13th 2024

FCSB will host Sparta Praha at National ARENA on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League third-round qualifying clash. The home side have endured a disappointing start to their league campaign and will hope they can find better luck this week.

They picked up their first league win of the season last time out, beating Farul Constanta 3-2, with Marius Stefanescu getting on the scoresheet in the first half before Darius Olaru came off the bench to net a late brace, clinching maximum points for Roș-albaștrii.

Sparta Praha, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong run of form and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Bohemians in their last match, with Indrit Tuci and Veljko Birmancevic getting on the scoresheet in either half to overturn a one-goal deficit.

FCSB and Sparta played out a 1-1 draw in their first-leg clash last week, with Joyskim Dawa opening the scoring for the Romanian outfit before Victor Olatunji scored a late equalizer for Železná Sparta.
