[Football- Champions League Qualifications] 6.8/ 21:00 Sparta Prague- FCSB

In the first leg of the third Champions League qualifying round, Sparta Prague will host FCSB. Sparta Prague has secured nine points from their first three matchweeks in the Czech top flight, while FCSB has earned two points from their first three games in Romania's Liga 1.

Sparta Prague are in strong form, currently on a five-match winning streak and having secured a 6-2 aggregate win against Shamrock Rovers in the previous round. They will be confident, having lost just once in their last 13 home matches.

On the other hand, FCSB have been winless in three of their last four matches. They have also struggled on the road, winless in four of their last eight away matches.

Sparta Prague have won 8 of their last 10 home matches, scoring 2 or more goals in 8 of those games and keeping 5 clean sheets. They have also covered this handicap in 4 of their past 5 games.

FCSB, though capable of scoring, only reached this stage with a late winner and may struggle to score away against Sparta Prague. With Sparta Prague's strong performances against Shamrock Rovers, the hosts could secure a sizeable advantage going into the second leg. I feel that with home advantage, they should secure a solid dub here. 2-0 is my guess here.
