Vaslui vs Sparta Praha

In front of deciding playoff match Vaslui is in all kind of problems. First of all, this game will be played in Romania, but not on Vaslui home stadium then at Piatra Neamt stadium.

 

Not only Vaslui didn't have the best transfer period and is in fact worse then last season, but also they have many problems in front of this game: first goalkeeper Kuciak is out, youngster will replace him between the post. Also Adailton, Papp, Pouga, Canu, Rivas, Pavlovic, Milisavljevic and Wesley are all unavailable for this game - this is 9 regular players. Most of the players are important for Vaslui, so they will have to relly on youngsters and players who weren't in the team for that long. Even with them this team looked quite inferior comparing to Twente as they also started their domestic league in mediocre fashion (1-1-1) as they faced only one real opponent and got defeated 0-3 (by Rapid Bucuresti).

 

Not only that they are not playing at their home ground, that they have 9 players out, but they also lack tradition in Europe as they always fail when big, deciding time comes. This is still a club which is founded in 2002 and cannot be compared with teams with good history in European cup like Sparta Prague is.

 

Sparta started this season in a good fashion having won all three games in Gambrius League with a 8-3 goal difference. They also destroyed Sarajevo in previous qualifying round 5-0 at home and 2-0 in Bosnia. They have no bigger problems before this game and their attack led by Kweuke is doing perfectly fine at the begining of the season. Sparta know that their opponent have lot of problems right now and I'm sure they will try to take the advantage of it in first leg already. There is not much Vaslui can do avoiding defeat today as Sparta is surely better team with much better individuals even when Vaslui is complete.
