Sparta host Slavia in Prague derby

Sparta Prague host defending champions Slavia in the first Prague derby of the season on Sunday evening. Unbeaten Slavia lead the Czech league table, but after two consecutive draws their advantage over Sparta has narrowed to two points. A home victory would therefore put Sparta ahead of their city rivals. The match comes less than four months after the previous derby was abandoned after Slavia supporters invaded the pitch and clashed with Sparta players. Sparta and Prague police say they have been preparing enhanced security measures for several weeks. The match at Sparta’s Letná stadium kicks off at 8 pm.
