On Thursday, Sparta Prague will be tasked to overturn their 3-2 loss at Galatasaray in the first leg of their Europa League knockout round play-offs last week.
The Lions' win at RAMS Park was complimented by a 3-0 domestic league victory against Ankaragucu, while Brian Priske's men would hope to do one better than their 2-1 Czech Liga win over Slovan Liberec at the weekend.
