Ararat-Armenia vs Sparta Praha prediction

After having been UEFA Conference League regulars for the past few years, Ararat-Armenia are making their league phase debut in the Europa League after making it past Universitatea Craiova in the final qualification round. They begin with a home game against Sparta Praha, the Czech giants who would expect to reach the knockout stage when you consider their European pedigree.

Despite being on the road, Sparta will likely try and take the game to Ararat-Armenia defensively as they look to potentially capitalise on any nerves within the home side. However, the longer this game goes on, the more Ararat should settle and knowing the important of gaining positive results on their turf, they should push more bodies forward. Therefore, backing both teams to score has to be considered.
