Number of the match6That is how many shots Sparta Praha had in the first half, while Lillestrøm had none – and it is still 0–0.
A one-sided half without goals. Possession: Sparta Praha 59%, Lillestrøm 41%. Three of the hosts' shots were on target, the visitors had none. Add 5 corners for Sparta and none for Lillestrøm. The picture on the pitch is clear, the result is not. Sparta are better in the numbers, but not on the scoreboard.
A scoring run meets a goalless half. Sparta have scored in 5 matches in a row and have not lost in 4 in a row. For now, that run has not been reflected in the first half. A blank on the scoreboard is a rare sight for the hosts given their form. Lillestrøm go out for the second half with a clean sheet.

Number of the match5That is how many games in a row Sparta have scored in, and they won 4–1 against Ararat-Armenia in the Europa League.
Third place versus 24th
The Europa League table after the first round clearly separates the two sides. Sparta Praha are 3rd with 3 points from 1 game. Lillestrøm are 24th and have not yet scored a point, also after 1 game. The hosts go into matchday 2 with full points from their first match, while the visitors start from the bottom of the table. Both teams have played one league phase game so far, so the table is based solely on the results of the first round.
Four goals away from home
Sparta opened the league phase with a 4–1 away win against Ararat-Armenia. They scored four goals and conceded one. In their last league game they beat Pardubice, which gave them a run of consecutive wins. Lillestrøm lost their first league phase game 1–2 and picked up no points. The teams also differ in rest: Lillestrøm have had 28 days since their previous match, played in the Europa League, and Sparta 4 days since their last game in the Chance Liga. So the hosts last played in their domestic league, the visitors in European competition.
First meeting between the clubs
Sparta and Lillestrøm have never played each other before, and in the Europa League this is their first meeting. So there are no previous head-to-head results to draw on. What remains is a picture of similar matches from across football. In 6686 matches in all leagues in which the difference in strength between the teams was similar, the home side won 47%, 26% ended in a draw, and the away side won 27%. At least 3 goals were scored in 52% of those matches. That is how games with a similar difference in team strength have ended so far.
Unbeaten and scoring run
Sparta Praha are unbeaten in their last 4 games. They scored in each of their last 5 matches, so their attack did not let them down in any of them. At home they won twice in a row. Lillestrøm have one defeat in the Europa League and have not yet scored a point there. Going into this game, then, Sparta are a team that collects points and scores goals, while the visitors are only starting to build their tally in the league phase.
Scorers and injuries
Sparta's top league scorer is Tobias Guddal, who has 2 goals in 1 game. For Lillestrøm, Thomas Lehne Olsen leads with 2 goals in 2 games. The hosts have squad problems: Elias Cobbaut, Magnus Kofod Andersen, Matej Rynes and Ondrej Penxa are out injured. Sparta will be without Josimar Alcócer, and Adam Karabec is recovering from an ankle injury. For Lillestrøm, Camil Jebara, Karl Linus Alperud and Espen Bjørnsen Garnås are injured.
