In the first round of the UEFA Europa League playoffs, Mardi Gras and Sparta Prague started their match at Mardi Gras' home ground. Marmo's offense and defense were on top of their game, and the hosts tried to seize every second of the game, but the offense was frustrated by Sparta Prague's tight defense, and their goal expectation of 3.5 goals was not met.
Swedish Superliga champions Mamo fought PAOK in two rounds of the Europa League, with the score tied 5-5, especially in the second round of the match, Mamo equalized in extra time, and then relied on an extra time goal by Anders Kirchen to advance to a 6-5 thriller. The process was dramatic. Mamo's attacking style of play is extremely aggressive. In the past four Europa League matches, Mamo scored 12 goals but conceded nine times, scoring four or more goals in four of the matches. This is an impressive ratio of goals scored and conceded, and it's a sight to behold. Mamo will need to make full use of their home field advantage and try to take the lead.
The Czech powerhouse Sparta Prague, on the other hand, is not only at the top of the league, but has also been performing well in recent matches. In the past 9 matches, Sparta Prague won 8 and drew 1, scoring 22 goals. Especially in the last 4 matches, Sparta Prague won 3 and lost 1, scoring 10 goals, including knocking out Star Bucharest 4-3 in the last two rounds. The team's morale is high and they are undaunted even when facing away games and are ready to start a fierce battle with their opponents.
