Galatasaray and Sparta Praha will go one-on-one at the RAMS Park on Thursday in the knockout stage of the Europa League, with kickoff slated for 17:45 GMT.
Galatasaray are on a good run of form domestically, winning five out of their life five outings in all competitions. They have also won the last five in the Super Lig, demonstrating their good form ahead of hosting Sparta Praha on Thursday.
Last time out in the Super Lig, Galatasaray ran out 2-0 winners at home to Istanbul Basaksehir. The win was crucial because it allowed Galatasaray to extend their lead at the top of the Super Lig to two points after Fenerbahce could only draw last weekend.
Galatasaray will go into the clash against Sparta Praha off the back of a good run, and high confidence in their football and playing at the RAMS Park will hand them an added advantage of the home supporters.
Sparta Praha are also at the zenith of the Czech First League with 53 points, five ahead of second-placed Slavia Praha.
Sparta are having a brilliant season, with 17 wins, two draws, and a solitary loss in their 20 outings so far in the Czech First League.
Last time out, last Saturday, Sparta Praha won 0-3 away to Karvina, underscoring their potency in the attacking phase and solidity in their defensive phase.
Bet hereIn their trip to RAMS Park on Thursday to face Galatasaray, they will look to be compact and solid in their approach. The aim will be to quieten the home crowd, frustrate Galatasaray, and give themselves a chance to attack in transitions and cause the home side problems.
Galatasaray will be without right winger Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan international is sidelined with an ankle injury. The 30-year-old forward is unlikely to be available for selection on Thursday.
Sparta Praha will be without right-back Andreas Vindheim. The 28-year-old is sidelined with an unknown injury and will be unavailable on Thursday for the trip to Galatasaray.
Galatasaray are the favorites for the first leg of this Europa League clash. They will win the clash at RAMS Park and take a lead to the second leg away to the Czech First League side.
