Liverpool vs Sparta Prague preview
Liverpool’s busy schedule continues in the Europa League on Thursday.
Although it should be far less taxing than their blockbuster 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s side effectively killed the tie in Prague when winning 5-1 with Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai all on the scoresheet.
That’s great news for the hosts, who will likely take the opportunity to rest several first-team players ahead of a gruelling Premier League run in.
Liverpool also have a tricky trip to Old Trafford to prepare for in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday.
It’s well worth waiting for the starting XI before placing any bets, although the ultimate outcome is almost guaranteed with Liverpool having progressed in ALL 36 occasions in which they’ve won the first leg of a UEFA knockout tie.
As for Sparta Prague, they are winless in all ten of their visits to English clubs, scoring just four goals in the process.

Liverpool vs Sparta Prague betting tips
On target
Veljko Birmancevic looks a good price at 17/2 to register 2+ efforts on target against what will no doubt be a weakened Liverpool XI.
Birmancevic, 26, has scored 11 goals in 34 appearances since joining on loan from Toulouse. The Serbia international has struck three times in the Europa League – all coming away from home.
He’s had nine attempts on target in the Europa League this year, and only six players can better that tally.

Yellow warning
Sparta Prague’s Angelo Preciado looks certain to get the full 90 during his domestic three-match suspension.
The 26-year-old has committed 13 fouls in his 616 minutes of Europa League action this season, which is the 11th-highest of any player in the competition.
He’s picked up two bookings in the competition for his troubles, and that leaves him with five yellows in 20 appearances.

Goals
Yes, Liverpool will make changes. No, it doesn’t seem to stop them from racking up the goals.
The Reds have scored 3+ goals in SIX of their last EIGHT matches at Anfield, and will fancy continuing that run against a Sparta Prague side who conceded FOUR to Plzen over the weekend.
