Sparta have scored exactly two goals in their last three matches \u2014 a 2-1 win in their league opener over Pardubice at the weekend and in friendly games before that against Salzburg and Brondby.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lincoln Red Imps vs Qarabag (Tuesday, 5pm) The stats Gibraltan side Lincoln Red Imps edged out Maltese opponents Hamrun Spartans in the first qualifying round, advancing on penalties after it ended 1-1 on aggregate.
