Predicted lineup for Bournemouth:
Di Gregorio, Truffert, Silva, Diakité, Hill, Gannon-Doak, Adams, Christie, Tavernier, Kluivert, Evanilson
Sparta Praag
Sparta Praha are expected to use a 4-3-3, a shape they have deployed only once in their recent matches, with Jonatan Braut Brunes left out despite scoring four times in three starts during that run.
Jakub Surovčík should keep his place in goal, with Tobias Guddal continuing at centre-back alongside Jaroslav Zelený, who is expected to return after appearing as a substitute against Bohemians 1905. Loïc Mbe Soh is set to miss out, while Roman Macek should return in midfield after not playing in the previous match. Josimar Alcócer and Matěj Jurásek are expected to provide the width.
Bournemouth
Alex Tóth's muscle injury will keep him out for months, while Veljko Milosavljević continues to rebuild his fitness after a pre-season knee problem. Thigh injuries have also ruled Alex Scott and Julián Araujo out of the trip to Sparta Praag.
Evanilson is expected to lead the Cherries' attack after scoring four goals in his five recent starts. Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier should also retain their places, with Ryan Christie expected in the deeper midfield role ahead of Lewis Cook. Eli Junior Kroupi is not yet ready to start as he continues to build up his playing time.
