Leicester vs Spartak Moscow Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - November 2, 2021

Leicester City vs Spartak Moscow
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 4 November 2021
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: King Power Stadium.

Leicester saw the birth of a new star the last match-day in the Europa, as Patson Daka scored all four goals for his team to deliver a 3-4 win on the road against this same Spartak Moscow.

Now, these two squads take on each other one more time, at the King Power Stadium.

A win is an absolute must for the Foxes, considering they are placed third in the table with just three games remaining. And judging their confidence and momentum, count on them to get the job done.

Leicester vs Spartak Moscow Head-to-head

• The only clash between the two ended in a 3-4 win for Leicester on the road.
• The Foxes have not taken on any other Russian rival so far.
• Spartak Moscow are on an eight-match winless run against other English foes, and six of these were losses.
• The last they recorded a win against an English opponent was back in 2000, when they fought Arsenal.

Leicester vs Spartak Moscow Prediction & Analysis

These two teams are currently placed third and fourth in the table, and with just three games remaining in the group stages, nerves are running high for either squad.

However, a glimmer of hope remains – as the first-placed Legia take on the second-placed Napoli, and at least one of the two will be dropping points.

But to make use of this opportunity, a win is needed for the Foxes, as well as Sparta.

It goes without saying that either team will be going after the three points right from the get-go, and with goals coming in plenty in almost of the recent games for these two, anticipate a goal-fest at the King Power Stadium this Thursday.

Having said all that, Leicester still have the upper hand, considering their form and the way in which they delivered a win against Sparta the last time these two locked horns.
