Stuttgart vs. Sparta Prague Preview
Stuttgart played 2-2 with Wolfsburg on the road this Saturday. They had fewer players on the field and were a goal down, yet they managed to equalize in the last moments of the game. This will be a huge morale-booster ahead of their Champions League fixture.
Die Schwaben play very efficient football, with plenty of goals. This was their 12th consecutive event, counting the preseason with four or more goals. That says enough about their mentality on the field.

Sparta was near-perfect this year until their last game. They took the lead early on against Sigma, but the rivals flipped the score in the second half and went home with a 2-3 win.
The Czech champions had 15 matches in a row in which they haven’t lost. Sparta would win in 13 of them and had two ties. This defeat is a huge blow ahead of their Champions League fixtures, so they need to show a championship mentality.
Stuttgart vs. Sparta Head to Head
There was just one club friendly in January 2023, in which Sparta won 0-2.
Stuttgart vs. Sparta Prague Prediction
The hosts have a home-field edge, but last week, we saw one other Czech club defy one German team. Plzen took a point from Eintracht in Frankfurt, which undoubtedly gives Sparta hope. We expect an open and efficient game with at least three goals.
- Free Stuttgart vs. Sparta Prague pick: Over 2.5 goals
