This is how Sparta arrives
In the league, Sparta is part of the best 4 teams in the tournament. A 2-2 draw at Banik Ostrava last weekend left them at the bottom of the top four and Sparta fans want to see them at the top as they are not champions since the 2013-14 season.
Sparta have failed to beat Lyon in their previous five attempts, suffering four defeats and a draw.
In the previous game, it was the Czech side that went up 2-0 from the start with a double from Lukas Haraslin, before Lyon turned the game around in the second half.
Coach Pavel Vrba will have been disappointed to see his team fall into such a defeat, but he can rest assured being second in the group, having been eliminated in the group stage last year and unable to advance. in the last three editions of the Europa League.
