Partizan vs Sparta Prague Prediction

Sparta Prague need a win to keep their continental sojourn alive and are likely to start the game on the front foot to try and level the tie.

Their job, however, is compounded by the hosts’ strong home form, with Partizan having lost just once in their own patch in any competition since December 2019. We are backing the Serbian giants to secure another narrow victory and clean sheet.
