Spartak Moscow Preview – Can Spartak jump into 2nd spot?
All three points against Monday night’s visitors, Khimki, at their Otkrytiye Arena would see Spartak Moscow jump into 2nd spot at the expense of local rivals, Lokomotiv Moscow, as the race for the Champions League qualifiers heats up.
Both Spartak and Lokomotiv Moscow sit on 53 points apiece and trail the Russian Premier League leaders, Zenit, by a nine-point margin so it looks like they’ll both be vying for the qualifying spot and having won six of their last eight matches overall, Spartak Moscow look to have a decent chance of jumping into 2nd place.
Spartak Moscow have also won five of their last seven games at home too, as well as possessing a strong home record of 8-3-3 29/15, so the hosts will be confident in grabbing the points here.
Khimki Preview – Can Khimki finish on a strong note?
Khimki sit in 8th place and trail 4th placed Rubin Kazan by an eight-point margin but with just two matches remaining of the season, the visitors will miss out on European competition for next season despite winning their last two matches on the trot.
Recent victories over Dinamo Moscow and Ural should at least ensure a top half finish for Khimki whose results away from home have also picked up in recent weeks; the visitors have lost just two of their last eight matches on the road.
However, Khimki have been on the losing side in each of their last three meetings against Spartak Moscow and could be up against it again on Monday night.
