Sparta Prague vs Vikings FK Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st July | UEFA Europa Conference League 2022-23

Sparta Prague and Vikings FK will get their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification campaign underway when they lock horns at the Letna Stadium on Thursday.

The visitors are on a run of consecutive wins in the Norwegian Eliteserien and will look to keep the ball rolling.

Sparta failed to return to winning ways, as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Paksi last Wednesday.

Before that, they picked up three consecutive friendly wins before suffering a 1-0 loss against Wolfsberger on July 9. Sparta head into Thursday on a run of three defeats in their last four competitive games, including a 3-1 loss against Slovacko in the Czech Republic Cup final on May 18.

Meanwhile, Vikings made it two wins from two in the Norwegian Eliteserien after seeing off Kristiansund BK 2-1 on home turf.

That followed an impressive 1-0 win over second-placed Lillestrom on July 10, which saw their six-game winless run in the league come to an end. Vikings are unbeaten in four of their last five games across competitions, claiming one draw and three wins.
