Viking vs Sparta Prague Match Preview

Viking hosts Sparta Prague in Norway in this second leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

The hosts in the first leg managed to steal a 0-0 draw having less than 25% ball possession and just four final attempts, compared to their opponents' twenty-seven. Undoubtedly, the out-form period continues for the Norwegians who in the last two months have beaten only a lower division team in the cup, the bottom team of the league who have just two points with a penalty in the 89th minute, and the league leaders with a lucky own goal in the 91st minute. In addition, from now on they will continue their tasks without the key forward Berisha who has scored eight goals and dished five assists (in twelve league matches) as he has signed with Swedish Hammarby.

On the contrary, the visitors reached high-performance levels in the first leg played at their home but were unable to score taking a clear qualification lead. In addition, the Czechs have a lot of experience in this level of the European competitions, actually, they reached the last 32 of the last season's UEFA Europa Conference League.

In conclusion, I consider Sparta Prague to be the clear favorite to win this one, an outcome that is priced at 1.93 odds. The odds of the away win have some value and I will stake 4 points on Sparta Prague to win.
