Univ. Craiova vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

Universitatea Craiova has reason to hope to move beyond this league phase in this competition. Beaten at the start of Poland by Rakow 2-0, the Romanians then experienced another poor performance by conceding a draw against FC Noah 1-1. But then, this team put together two very important victories won against Rapid Vienna 0-1 and especially against Mainz 1-0 during the last two days. These successes allowed the Olteniens to move to 15th place in the ranking and return to just one point from the top 8. At the same time, Universitatea Craiova is in 4th position in its championship before hosting FCR Cluj next weekend.

On the other side of the meadow, Sparta Prague has the same number of points as its opponent of the day, which therefore places it a short distance from a virtual direct qualification for the 1/8th finals. Easy to defeat Shamrock Rovers 4-1, the Czechs were then beaten by Rijeka 1-0 before being held to a draw by Rakow 0-0. 15 days ago, the people of Prague restarted the machine by winning at Legia Warsaw 0-1. At the same time, in the championship, Sparta is relegated 5 lengths behind its neighbor and rival Slavia Prague before traveling to the Sigma Olomouc field next weekend. 

Universitatea still cannot count on the young Radulescu (20 years old, 2 league goals) whose return is not expected before the winter break. Backup striker Paradela also remains on the flank while the more important Mora (midfielder) and Sreciu (defender) are doubtful after missing their team's last matches. On the other hand, the former Laval player Nsimba, who crashed 6 times in the league this season, is operational. The interesting Baiaram (5 goals) and Al-Hamlawi (2 goals in the league, 1 in C4) as well as the full-back Romanchuk (3 goals in the league, 1 in C4) are all well suited.

On the other side, Kofod Andersen (1 goal in the championship) and the defensive executive Cobbaut should a priori miss this part. Furthermore, the Starting defender Sörensen is not sure he will be able to play after missing his team's last meetings. As for the executives, we can cite the very good Kosovar Albion Rrahmani (9 goals in all competitions including 6 in the league) and the Czechs Kuchta (7 TCC goals) and Haraslin (4 goals, 3 assists in the league).
