The teams face each other in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16. At home the Reds have a good advantage to advance
We start again for the round of 16 of the Europa League. Liverpool and Sparta Prague will face each other this Thursday (14th), at 5pm (Brasilia time), at Anfield, to decide who will progress to the next stage in the second biggest club competition in European football. In this way, after the 5-1 victory in the first leg, the Reds can lose up to three goals to ensure qualification.
How Liverpool arrive
With the table in progress and in contention for the Premier League title, the expectation is that manager Jurgen Klopp will send an alternative team into action this Thursday. Furthermore, the team is coming off a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the English championship, in which the club believes it was hampered by the refereeing. Therefore, the result left Arsenal as the new leaders of the competition.
How to get to Sparta Prague
The current champion of the Czech Republic will try to perform the miracle at Anfield to qualify. To do this, the team must win by at least four goals to send the match to extra time. A mission that seems practically impossible.
Furthermore, the team comes from a painful 4-0 defeat against Viktoria Plzeň in the national championship, but remains top of the Czech championship. Ultimately, the good news for coach Brian Priske is that on Thursday he will be able to count on the best of his team.
