Sparta Prague take on the visitors Copenhagen in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 0-0. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 15th at epet ARENA (Prague).
Sparta (Prague) finally reclaimed the championship title. The Reds refreshed their own national record for the number of gold medals in the national championship. By the way, in 3 years they will celebrate the centennial anniversary of their first such trophy, and in the spring, they secured it for the 34th time. Interestingly, the previous 1st place was back in 2014! Partly thanks to this success, under the guidance of Brian Priske (by the way, a Dane), the team entered the qualification for the main European club competitions. Although, when they went to Copenhagen, their pragmatic goal was to defend and secure a clean sheet, and they managed to achieve that.

Copenhagen have long been considered a flagship of Danish football. The Lions in their current form are a relatively young project. Last year marked their 30th anniversary. And during the spring, they secured their 15th championship. In general, the capital club considers the Superliga their homeland and aims to make it to the main rounds of the Champions League (or even its playoffs). However, things haven't gone smoothly for them at the very beginning. Yes, the disciples of Jakob Neestrup were more active and stronger at home, but the Czechs still managed to achieve a strategically favorable result for themselves, a 0-0 draw. Nonetheless, the one who can secure a victory in Prague will progress to the next round from this pair.
Before this current showdown, the teams only played during the inaugural edition of the Europa League. Back in the fall of 2009, during the group stage, the Danes won both matches dry. Both sides want to win, but they fear losing even more. So, it's unlikely that the deciding match will be high-scoring. Expect a total under 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
