Sparta Prague vs Galatasaray: Top free betting tips
Sparta Prague welcomes Galatasaray to the Generali Arena in the second leg of the round of 16 from the Europa League. The first leg ended with Galatasaray winning the game by three goals to two. Galatasaray did go into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead thanks to Kerem Demirbay's first-half goal but Angelo Preciado levelled the game just two minutes into the second half. Dries Mertens then put the Turkish side back in front with Gala then went down to ten men two minutes later with Victor Nelsson receiving a red card. Three minutes after that red card, Jan Kuchta brought the Czech side back level but ten minutes from time, Sparta had their own played sent off the level things. With just a few minutes remaining, Mauro Icardi scored to give Gala an advantage going into the second leg.
Correct outcome prediction: Galatasaray to Win
For our first Sparta Prague vs Galatasaray prediction we have gone with a win for the side from Istanbul. Galatasaray's incredible run of form is playing a part in this prediction, Gala comes up against much stronger opposition domestically and will use that to beat Sparta in the second leg, just like they did in the first.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
We have dived into the goals market with our next Sparta Prague vs Galatasaray prediction. We believe that both teams will find the back of the net. Galatasaray have kept just three clean sheets in their previous eleven matches and have managed to score at least once in all eleven also. Sparta has scored in all of their previous eighteen matches with a 0-0 draw against Rangers in October 2023 being the last time the Czech side failed to score.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Galatasaray
Our final Sparta Prague vs Galatasaray prediction is traditionally the correct score. We have gone with a fairly comfortable 2-1 victory for Galatasaray. Sparta are not used to losing with the Prague-based side losing just one league match all season but this Galatasaray side is much better than any other team in their domestic league.

How far will Galatasaray‘s fans travel to Prague, where Sparta Prague play?
There are many ways to travel from Istanbul in Turkiye to Prague in Czechia. Several train and bus services link up mainland Europe. However, those journeys will take more than a full day and we believe that almost all away fans will opt to fly to the Czechia.
The flight time between Istanbul and Prague is just under three hours, which is much better than spending a full day in a car or on one of Europe's many coaches.
