Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Sparta Praha is 6.88, compared to 7.04 for Plzen. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Sparta Praha's highest-rated starter is J. Surovcik (7.20), while Plzen's best-rated player is D. Krcik (7.34).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Sparta Praha have contributed 27 goals and 17 assists this season, led by J. Kuchta (12G). Plzen's starters account for 24 goals and 24 assists, spearheaded by D. Visinsky (7G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Sparta Praha deploy 4 defenders rated 6.98 on average, against Plzen's 4-man backline averaging 7.07. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Sparta Praha field 5 midfielders averaging 6.74, versus Plzen's 5 rated 7.05. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Sparta Praha start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.93, compared to 1 for Plzen averaging 6.77. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for Sparta Praha and 80% for Plzen. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Sparta Praha's starters have collected 31 yellow cards this season, compared to 28 for Plzen. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Sparta Praha's starting XI is 25.1 (youngest: A. Sevinsky (21), oldest: J. Zeleny (33)), while Plzen average 24.8 (youngest: M. Toure (20), oldest: P. Hrosovsky (33)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Sparta Praha's starters average 19 league appearances each, versus 22 for Plzen. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
