Sparta Prague hosts Red Bull Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League group stage on Thursday. The Austrian champions are the favorites to win, having won all three of their opening group games. Sparta, on the other hand, have just one point from their first three matches. Salzburg’s star player, Erling Haaland, is expected to start after missing the midweek Champions League game against Atletico Madrid. Sparta’s lineup is uncertain due to injuries and suspensions. The Czech side will be looking to cause an upset and secure their first win in the group. Predictions suggest a Salzburg victory, with Haaland scoring the opening goal.
