Since the arrival of the legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic in January, AC Milan have turned a corner. With the Swedish international spearheading their attack, they haven’t been short of goals, firing on all cylinders in every single game.

Meanwhile, Sparta Prague will be hopeful of making amends with a decent result here, after succumbing to a heavy defeat to Lille on the last matchday. We can expect a rousing response from the Maroons in this fixture.

AC Milan vs Sparta Prague Team News

Milan have looked a totally different side since the turn of the year. In fact, according to the form book, if we were to draft a Serie A table, taking results from post-lockdown up until now into account, the Rossoneri will be topping the charts, streets ahead of every other side in the pack.

A late resurgence the previous season saw them rise to sixth on the log to book a ticket to the group stages of the Europa League. Getting their European campaign off to a flying start, Pioli’s men easily defeated Celtic in their opening fixture.

Always in control of the game, Celtic couldn’t survive Milan’s early onslaught as first-half goals from Krunic and Diaz sent the Devil well ahead. After the restart, both teams registered one goal apiece, as the scoreboard read 3-1 at fulltime.

The Rossoneri are also faring well on the domestic front, sitting at the summit of the Serie A standings after five games. They have garnered a whopping 13 points so far, to stay ahead of second-placed Napoli who are blowing hot on their tails.

Last time out in the league, Milan were unlucky to have dropped points as Roma held them to a 3-3 draw, no thanks to Kumbulla’s 84^th-minute effort. The defender latched onto a pin-point cross to bury the ball in the back of the net.

Milan will be hoping to continue their brilliance against Sparta Prague in this upcoming contest. Plying their trade in the Czech First League, Prague finished the previous campaign in third-place to secure a spot in this year’s edition of the Europa League.

This term, they are tearing it up in their domestic league, winning all of their six games so far, to comfortably occupy top-spot on the table. Their previous European game saw them lose 4-1 to French side Lille. In truth, the result flattered to deceive as Iron Sparta were pretty decent on the night.

AC Milan vs Sparta Prague Predictions

If not for the red card that Krejci picked up against Lille, it can be argued that Sparta Prague could have come away with a good result. However, reduced to ten-men, they became short-handed and were ultimately outclassed by Lille from there on.

Surely, we will see a better showing from Kotal’s charges here. Against Milan’s second-string squad, Prague may just stand a chance of salvaging something substantial. Feel free to wager both sides getting on the scoresheet, with no less than three goals between themselves.
