What is at stake for Sparta Prague and Bournemouth?

After featuring in the Conference League last 16 last term, Sparta are aiming to make it back-to-back European knockout appearances in this season's Europa League.

Brian Priske's side are currently sitting in a seeded spot for the knockout round playoffs, with three points separating them from the top eight and a one-point gap to the teams sitting just outside the top 24.

In regard to their overall form, Sparta will be looking to spark an upturn in fortunes after winning just one of their last six competitive matches.

In contrast to their hosts, Bournemouth carry significant momentum into the midweek fixture after winning each of their last six competitive matches without conceding, including a 2-0 Premier League win over Leeds United on Saturday. 

Marco Rose's side are looking to maintain their 100% Europa League record after starting their European campaign with three successive wins over Real Sociedad, Sturm Graz and AC Milan.

Another win on Thursday would further strengthen their hopes of a top-eight finish and an automatic last-16 spot.
