Sparta Prague v Shamrock Rovers
Tuesday 30 July
Kick-off 18:00 BST

The Champions League qualifiers are back this week with the second legs including Shamrock Rovers heading to Prague 2-0 down and needing a miracle against Sparta.

Sparta dominated in Dublin last week with 69% possession, 13 attempts on goal and nine shots on target - and you'd expect something similar back on home turf.

With the Irish side 100/1101.00 to somehow get through and Sparta 1/101.10 to win the game, we'll need to look

Leg 1: Sparta to lead at HT

Rovers don't, and likely won't, go all-out to get back into the tie from the off, but the problem is they just won't be able to get any control in the game if they don't.

Sparta will dominate the ball and so can either break the visitors down or jump on any gaps they leave if they do go in search of a goal.

Plus the hosts know a goal will kill the tie off, so 4/91.44 on Sparta winning at half-time makes about as much appeal as anything in the betting for this one.

Leg 2: Sparta 8+ corners

Sparta tallied seven corners in Dublin last week so even just being at home should be enough to add on a ocuple more to that total here.

Even if they think the tie is won, they'll have so much of the ball that progression is inevitable and then as the game goes on as Rovers have to push forward then counter attacks will present themselves.

So we'll add in 10/111.91 on Sparta getting 8+ corners against the Irish side.

Leg 3: Shamrock Rovers 2+ corners

Rovers got just the one corner at home so we may be taking a bit of a chance since it's only 1/51.20 on them getting 2+ corners in Prague, but I think they can do it.

At some point they'll have to go for it, and at some point Sparta will take their foot off the gas, so there's potential at least for the visitors to have something of a go.

And two corners should be the least they get in return.
