Sparta have played 20 matches in the domestic league this season. The team took 15 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. These results allowed them to gain 47 points and sit on the second spot of the standings. Sparta are currently 6 points behind the league leaders. Sparta took three victories and three draws in the group stage that allowed them to finish on the second spot with 12 points. In the first leg at own arena Sparta scored a quick goal on 13th minute but their opponents equalized before the break on 38th minute.
These two teams have played 3 head-to-heads. Two of them ended with draws and one match was won by Sparta at own pitch back in 2003 (1-0). Lazio showed nice football in the last match and scored twice. It should add to their spirits before the return match against Sparta. Perhaps teams won’t create many chances in this game.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to qualify.
