Real Betis vs Sparta Praha Prediction and Betting Tips | October 5th 2023

Real Betis will host Sparta Praha at the Benito Villamarin on Thursday in another round of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League campaign.

The home side have had mixed results in La Liga this season and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week. They were beaten 1-0 by Rangers in their first group game falling behind midway through the second half and failing to find a way back into the game despite some late pressure.

Real Betis sit rock-bottom in the Group C standings with zero points. They will now be looking to pick up their first continental win of the campaign when they play on Thursday.

Sparta Praha, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong run of results at the moment and will be looking to continue that streak on Thursday.

They picked up a 3-2 comeback win over Aris Limassol in their last game with Ladislav Krejci scoring a first-half brace to overturn an early deficit before Martin Vitik sealed the points for the Czech outfit midway through the second half.
