In the sixth round of the main stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League on December 18, 2025 (local time), Sparta Prague will host Aberdeen. To remain among the group leaders, the Czech side must secure a victory against the current group outsider.
Our Prediction for Sparta Prague vs Aberdeen
After winning back-to-back domestic titles, Sparta Prague surprisingly slipped to fourth place last season. In response, the club brought back head coach Brian Priske in the summer, the architect of their previous success. Despite his return, Sparta still trail rivals Slavia in the domestic title race.
Aberdeen finished last season in fifth place in Scotland but achieved a historic milestone by lifting their first domestic cup since 1990. This season, however, their position within the Premiership’s top six remains uncertain, and a lack of consistency continues to hurt their results.
Sparta Prague began their Conference League campaign with a 1–2 defeat away to Aktobe. They quickly recovered by winning the return leg and eliminating Ararat-Armenia and Riga during qualification. In the main stage, Sparta recorded victories over Shamrock Rovers and Legia Warsaw, earned a draw against Raków, and suffered just one defeat, against Rijeka. In the previous round, they claimed a valuable 2–1 away win over Universitatea Craiova.
Aberdeen’s European journey has been far more challenging. They exited the Europa League at the first hurdle after a 2–2 home draw with FCSB followed by a heavy 0–3 defeat in Bucharest. Their struggles continued in this competition, losing 2–3 to Shakhtyor and suffering a crushing 0–6 defeat against AEK Athens. Only in November did they manage to halt the slide with draws against AEK Larnaca and Noah. Last Thursday, they were beaten 0–1 at home by Strasbourg.
