Stade Brestois will look to build on their unforgettable Champions League start as they travel to epet ARENA to face Sparta Prague in Wednesday's action.
After a lengthy 19-year absence, Sparta Prague have made their return to Europe's most elite club competition, and their start in the newly expanded tournament has been promising, picking up a decent four points from their opening three games. After mercilessly thrashing RB Salzburg 3-0 on opening day and earning a commendable 1-1 draw against Bundesliga improvised Stuttgart, matchday three saw them fail to find any answers against the four-time consecutive English champions Manchester City, where they were expectedly defeated 0-5 at the Etihad.
Conversely, Stade Brestois have emerged as one of the debutants in this Champions League season thanks to their remarkable showing in Ligue 1 last term, where they recorded the highest league result ever in their 121-year history by finishing in third place. Although they were forecasted to end up in some of the lowest spots in the new format of this tournament, Les Pirates have proven the doubters wrong by shining as a remarkable sensation at the start of the Champions League, after accumulating a perfect seven points from nine possible to took fifth place on the standings.
Sparta Prague vs Brest Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)
There is no doubt that Sparta Prague should not be taken lightly, as shown in their opening matches of the Champions League, but with several crucial players missing, we think Stade Brestois has decent prospects of holding their place in the top eight by gaining something from their trip on Wednesday. The Czech team failed to boost their morale ahead of the upcoming European clash, as they succumbed to a shocking 1-3 defeat against Ostrava in front of their home crowd, marking their third setback in the last four competitive matches.
Similar to their midweek hosts, Les Pirates approach the fourth day of the Champions League feeling the sting of a disappointing 0-1 loss to OGC Nice from the weekend. Still, Brest can’t be blamed too much, given that their European adventure is going surprisingly well, as they demonstrated in their most recent match when they successfully held the Bundesliga champion Leverkusen to a 1-1 stalemate, which came after they beating Sturm Graz 2-1 and destroyed RB Salzburg 4-0. While Sparta Prague's home advantage won't make it an easy feat, it’s certainly attainable for Brest, who are currently operating at full throttle in their remarkable Champions League debut and appear ready to clinch a positive outcome against an opponent that’s off balance.
Sparta Prague team news
As they prepare for the fourth day of the Champions League, Sparta Prague are struggling with a long list of unavailable players, including Imanol Garcia de Albeniz and Indrit Tuci, who are confirmed to miss the match due to injuries.
After being left off the roster for the last few weeks, key trio Angelo Preciado, Veljko Birmancevic, and Lukas Haraslin face uncertainty regarding their participation, and Ermal Krasniqi's injury, incurred just minutes after his introduction in the weekend's defeat to Ostrava, could keep him off the pitch as well.

Brest team news
The authors of an outstanding Champions League debut, Brest will visit the Czech Republic missing key forward Abdallah Sima, who incurred a muscle injury in the commendable 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, as Mama Balde prepares to replace him on the left wing.
The good news for Les Pirates is that crucial player Romain Del Castillo has overcome a minor calf issue, allowing him to play nearly the entire match against OGC Nice over the weekend, ensuring his availability for Wednesday's contest.
