Last time out, Sparta Praha were 0-2 winners against Hradec Kralove. This match represents much of the Czech First League side. They had 48% of the ball to the hosts’ 52%. They peppered their opponents’ goal with 12 shot attempts, with 4 of those hitting the target.
They conceded 17 shots and just three on target. Two goals from four shots on target highlight a clinical edge that will come in handy against RB Salzburg on Wednesday. Football predictions on 22Bet show that Sparta Praha will be pragmatic in their approach, looking to attack on the counter.
Red Bull Salzburg
RB Salzburg have started their Austrian Football Bundesliga campaign with three wins and a loss from the opening four rounds of fixtures.

The precise play was also on display at home when they were held to a 1-1 draw despite having just 39% of the ball. They scored one goal from three shots on target, highlighting a clinical edge.
In their last match in the Austrian Football Bundesliga, in which they lost 3-2, they had the lion’s share of the ball with 67% but trailed Rapid Wien in shots on target 4 to 6.
Our football predictions analysis shows that RB Salzburg will look to leverage their off-the-ball organization and rapid attacks to establish an edge on Wednesday.
