Sparta Prague entertain Internazionale at the Generali Arena on Thursday. Read the match predictions to find out why Inter are the betting tip to get up and running in Europa League Group K.

Sparta Prague vs Inter Preview

Both of these sides had a pretty disastrous start to the group phase and will be keen to make amends. Sparta Prague were outclassed 3-0 away to Southampton while Inter came up short and suffered a shock 0-2 defeat at home to a plucky Hapoel Beer Sheva side.

Sparta Prague could be without centre-back Costa Nhamoinesu who was taken off early through injury in Sunday’s derby defeat to rivals Slavia Prague. If he fails to make it back in time, Mario Holek could deputise or be deployed on the right with Ondrej Mazuch in the centre. Lukas Vacha appears to be out of the picture for now with Borak Dockal a more likely starter in midfield. They set up with a 3-4-3 formation at the weekend but are likely to revert to a 2 pronged attack featuring Vaclav Kadlec and Lukas Julius.

Inter got it all wrong against Hapoel Beer Sheva and will most likely field a stronger side in the Czech Republic. Frank de Boer switched Davide Santon to right-back in Saturday’s draw with Bologna and could stick with that setup given Miangue’s stand-out performance on the left. Ever Banega may sit this one out to allow Mario back into the starting XI after his role in the win over Empoli two games back. A front three of Peresic, Icardi and Candreva looks nailed on here.

Sparta Prague vs Inter Prediction

Sparta Prague are in a rut right now and badly need to get off the mark in Group K. The loss to Southampton brought an end to a 7 game unbeaten run and they haven’t won since. Following the defeat at St Mary’s, Sparta looked out of sorts in a 1-1 draw away to Zlin and succumbed to a devastating 0-2 defeat against local rivals Slavia Prague at the weekend, costing Zdenek Scasny his job.

The hosts have the ability to cause any side problems when everything is going well but that certainly isn’t the case at the moment. The fact that they don’t have a manager only adds weight to the case that this could be a long night for the home fans at Generali Arena.

If Inter losing to Hapoel Beer Sheva was a shock, then so was their response. Nerazzurri bounced back in style with an unlikely 2-1 win over Serie A favourites Juventus. They then backed that win up with a 0-2 success away to Empoli but were held 1-1 at home by Bologna at the weekend.

Frank de Boer’s men have been inconsistent but given their false start in the Europa League, a bold showing is expected here. Sparta represent a wounded animal and Inter will be looking to get off the mark in style. The front three of Peresic, Icardi and Candreva will be a terrifying prospect for the hosts and a comfortable away win is anticipated.
