Feyenoord vs Sparta Prague prediction and betting tips on December 11, 2024
Game Prediction
On December 11, 2024, in the 6th round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Feyenoord will face Sparta Prague. The Dutch team needs a win to secure a spot in the knockout stage, but the Czech side has already earned points in this tournament.
Our Prediction for Feyenoord vs Sparta Prague
Feyenoord had a challenging season last year, starting with a loss to PSV in the Dutch Super Cup, followed by another defeat to them in the Eredivisie title race. Additionally, their manager, Arne Slot, was poached by Liverpool, leaving the team without their leader. Ironically, the vacant position was filled by Brian Priske, who had previously coached Sparta Prague in 2023 and 2024.
In Rotterdam, the Danish coach began with a Super Cup win, but in Eredivisie, his team has struggled and is now far behind PSV, with other clubs also surpassing them. However, in the Champions League, Feyenoord has performed well. They lost at home to Bayer Leverkusen and RB Salzburg, but managed to win away games against Girona and Benfica. Last round, despite being 0-3 down to Manchester City in Manchester, the Dutch side managed to fight back and secure a draw.
Sparta Prague also has a new Danish manager, Frederik Friis, the former assistant to his predecessor. He has not been able to maintain dominance in Czech football. However, Sparta made a historic achievement by qualifying for the Champions League group stage for the first time in decades, defeating Shamrock Rovers, Steaua Bucharest, and Malmo in the qualifiers. In the group stage, the Czechs have managed to beat RB Salzburg and draw with Stuttgart but have also faced several defeats, including losses to Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Brest.
