Sparta Prague hosts Monaco in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 3rd at Generali Ceska pojistovna Arena (Prague)
Sparta Prague has already started the season on all fronts, and the results show that the players are in good shape. In the Champions League, Sparta managed to eliminate Rapid Vienna. After an away 2-1 defeat, they managed to win 2-0 at home. The Czech team held two matches in the championship, where they dealt with Sigma Olomouc (3-2) and hammered Slovan Liberec away a few days ago (0-5). The Reds have played against strong teams this season, but Monaco is a completely different opponent, so they need to show their best football.

Monaco is returning to European cups after several bad seasons in Ligue 1, where there was even a threat of relegation. In the last championship, the team played very well and even had some chances for a champion’s title. But in the end the Monegasques managed to take third place. Beyond that, they reached the final of the French Cup but lost to PSG with a score of 0-2. AS Monaco has not yet played official matches this season, but it held test matches against strong clubs (three victories, one draw, and one defeat). The Monegasques managed to beat such teams as Salzburg, Wolfsburg, and Cercle Brugge and lost to Real Sociedad. Missing the Champions League will be considered a failure for Niko Kovacs' charges.
Although both clubs are famous in Europe, they have never played against each other. In the first match, bookmakers give a clear preference to Monegasques, even taking into account the away status. It is hard to believe that Sparta will easily give a ticket to the next round. The Czech grandee will definitely fight at home. We consider it quite logical to bet on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
