“The opponent will be more active at home and the fans will push him. I expect a game similar to Prague. In any case, we will go to Romania to advance. However, in order to participate in the final round of this prestigious competition, they must be better than a week ago. Before that, Leitner put in more effort. In the first game, they didn’t start the engine until the last 20 minutes before they had time to equalize.
Although the games had to be rotated, both teams faced the rematch with league wins. FCSB vs. Constanta (3:2), Sparta vs. Botic. However, she clearly dominated the Kangaroos for much of the game, with a poor finish costing her a higher score.

“Winning in the league is very important so that we can go into the rematch with a clear head. I believe we have not shown our best form yet,” Sadilek pointed out. However, Letenski has not won a single match in five cup games against FCSB. The last time they faced the Romanian champions was in the 2016/2017 season. It was the same situation when they flew to Bucharest, that is, after a 1:1 draw at home. In the second round, they lost 0:2, a disastrous defeat.
The people of Prague knew they were not going to have an easy game. “We found out in the first game that it will not be easy. The result was not what we expected and it will be more difficult there because the atmosphere and the family environment will be in their favour. Nothing easy awaits us,” defensive all-rounder Jarreau Slav Zeleny said before the flight.
After arriving in the Romanian capital, the Spartans will check into the hotel and, starting from 18:30, they will conduct pre-match training at the Steauy Stadium. Tuesday’s duel starts at 20:30 Czech time.
