Match Facts
While this will be the first ever meeting between Real Betis and Sparta Prague in Europe, Los Verdiblancos have won all four of their previous European games against Czech opposition, twice against Viktoria Zizkov in the 2002-03 UEFA Cup and twice against FK Jablonec in the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds.
Sparta Prague have lost nine of their last 11 meetings with Spanish clubs in all European competition (W1 D1), winning just one of 10 away games overall against such opposition (D3 L6), a 1-0 win at Barcelona in the 1985-86 European Cup.
Real Betis have never lost a home game in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, winning seven and drawing five of 12 previous such matches.
Sparta Prague have only won one of their last 17 away games across all European competitions (D2 L14), a 4-1 win at Celtic in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2020-21.
All three of Sparta Prague’s goals against Aris Limassol on MD1 came from set plays (2x corner, 1x throw). Indeed, of the Czech club’s 89 goals in the competition’s history, 33.7% have come from set-pieces (30 – including penalties).
