Spartak Moscow
The Red-Whites are performing well in the current Europa League group stage. Despite the 0-1 defeat in the game against Legia in the first round, Spartak managed to create a sensation in the second round, beating the Italian Napoli 3-2 away. In such a scenario, Rui Vitoria’s charges, ahead of the game with the British, have 3 points and second place in the standings. In the 11th round of the RPL championship, the Spartak vs Dynamo Moscow match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Leicester City
Unexpectedly, the wards of Brendan Rogers were among the outsiders of the Europa League group round. After a good start — a 2-2 draw in the first round match with Napoli — the Foxes unexpectedly lost 0-1 to the Polish Legia in the second round. As a result, Leicester has 1 point gained before the upcoming game with Spartak and occupies last place in the table of Group C. Despite the setbacks in the UEL, Leicester plays much better in the championship. In the last round, the Foxes beat Manchester United 4-2.
Head-to-head statistics

Prediction
Despite the more successful statistics of Spartak, the chances of Rui Vitoria’s team winning are not so great.

Probable result – the victory of Leicester.
