Thursday, Celtic receives Sparta Prague on the occasion of the 3rd day of group H of the Europa League. Both teams want to win to revive in this group.
Celtic are currently 3rd in Group H of the Europa League with 1 point on the clock. French midfielder Olivier Ntcham lost their first home game against AC Milan (1-3). Last week, they did well in Lille but an uncontrolled 2nd half saw LOSC come back to score (2-2). On the national scene, the Scottish formation occupies the 2nd rank of the championship but did not win during the last 2 days (1 draw and 1 defeat). Last weekend, Celtic validated their ticket to the Scottish Cup final by dominating, at home, Aberdeen (2-0).
In difficulty in this group of the Europa League, Sparta Prague is now in the last place in the standings with 0 points in the bag. The Czech formation largely lost its first 2 matches played against Lille (1-4) and in the den of AC Milan last weekend (3-0). In the league, the teammates of striker Julis monopolize the 1st place in the standings with a perfect record of 6 victories. However, the health crisis prompted authorities to stop the championship and Sparta played their last Czech Liga match on October 3.
For Celtic, the defender Jullien (ex-Toulouse), the long-term injured Mikey Johnston and the excellent winger Forrest are unavailable this Thursday, injured. Satisfied with C3’s last match, the coach could renew his confidence in the same elements. French attacking midfielder Ntcham could be positioned behind wingers Elyounoussi (doubled against Lille) and Christie and scorer Ajeti. Unless the international hopes Odsonne Edouard is aligned at the forefront of the attack.
Sparta Prague is deprived of the important midfielder Soucek, the very promising Hlozek (4 goals and 4 assists in the league), the potential defenders Hancko and Stetina and substitutes Holec and Panak. In addition, the important Krejci is still suspended after taking a red against Lille. To their advantage in the league, attackers Dockal (3 goals and 2 assists) and Julis (6 goals) should be established.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
Opposed to a formation of Sparta Prague deprived of the championship for more than a month, Celtic has a great opportunity to win this Thursday. Celtic victory!
