Spartak Moscow and Leicester City face off on Wednesday in matchday three of the Europa League group stage at Otkritie Arena. These two teams are in group C.
Leicester City currently sits in last place in the group standings having picked up only one point. They opened up the Europa League with a 2-2 draw before losing to Legia Warsaw 1-0 in the last game. Leicester City had 64 percent of the possession and outshot Legia Warsaw 4-3, but it wasn’t enough as they couldn’t find the back of the net. This is a team that has dreams of at least making it out of the group stage, but if it’s going to happen, this needs to be a game they win. Leicester City’s last game overall was against Manchester United, and they had their most impressive win of the season. The offense broke out, scoring four goals.
Spartak Moscow has played well during the Europa League sitting in second place in the standings having picked up three points. They opened up the group play with a loss against Legia Warsaw 1-0, before beating Napoli 3-2 in the last game. Quincy Promes scored two goals to pace the team to a victory. Maximiliano Caufriez picked up a red card and won’t be available for this game. The last game was last Saturday against Dynamo Moscow and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. It was a goal in the 91st minute that was the difference as they secured the draw.
Leicester City finally looked like the team of old in their last game against Manchester United, and they are going to get the offense going again in this game. Leicester City scored four goals in the last game, and they will score three or four in this game. Back Leicester City to win this game on the money line.
