Brest keen to extend unbeaten UCL run as Praha clash looms.
As Sparta Praha seeks redemption on home turf against a resilient Brest, Wednesday night's clash at Epet Arena promises a compelling battle between a team eager to break a winless streak and a French side aiming to extend their unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League.
Sparta Praha
Sparta Praha dropped 11 places in the UEFA Champions League league phase table after a heavy 5-0 defeat to Manchester City on Match Day 3. With only one shot on target and 20% possession, they struggled against the relentless City attack, conceding half of the shots on target.
Following a 3-1 loss to FC Baník in the Czech First League on Saturday, Sparta Praha is eager to reverse their fortunes in Wednesday’s clash against Brest. The team has gone two games without a win in the UEFA Champions League.
Domestically, Sparta Praha has only one victory in their last five games. A fixture against the French side presents challenges, as Sparta has lost their last six matches against French clubs in European competitions, conceding 18 goals.
Additionally, Sparta Praha has failed to score in 27 of their 59 UEFA Champions League matches. They are expected to line up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Olatunji at the center of the attacking trio, possibly joined by Krystof Danek and Ermal Krasniqi.
However, Veljko Birmancevic is ruled out alongside two other players for the upcoming match.
Brest
Brest currently sit in a strong position, holding 5th place in the league table, and have impressively remained unbeaten in their campaign with a record of two wins and one draw. In their recent Champions League match, they secured a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, bouncing back after conceding early, courtesy of a goal from Pierre Lees-Melou.
Despite a narrow 0-1 defeat to Nice over the weekend, Brest aim to return to winning form when they face Sparta Praha on Wednesday night. Maintaining a three-match unbeaten streak, Brest seek to join the ranks of French teams like Marseille, Paris SG, and Bordeaux by extending their undefeated run in their first four matches of the competition.
Éric Roy is keen to capitalize on his team’s strong defensive form, having conceded only two goals so far, to secure a second clean sheet on the road. The possibility of a 4—3—3 formation, featuring the attacking trio of Ludovic Ajorque, Romain Del Castillo, and Lage, might be employed. However, Brest will be without Abdallah Sima and Bradley Locko due to injuries.
