Spartak Moscow Preview – Can Spartak see off Foxes?
Spartak Moscow are another Russian club in European action on Wednesday night when they take on Premier League side, Leicester City, in the nation’s capital and no doubt looking to build upon their recent Matchday 2 win over Napoli.
Spartak Moscow bounced back from their opening 1-0 defeat at home to Legia Warsaw last time out when they registered an impressive 3-2 win away at Napoli which is expected to give the Russian hosts plenty of confidence for this upcoming tussle.
However, with just four wins out of their last 12 ties in the Europa League, this could be a tricky fixture for the hosts.
Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes stage recovery?
A 4-2 home win over Manchester United on the weekend in the Premier League should also give Leicester City a timely boost ahead of this Matchday 3 trip to Moscow in the Europa League as Brendan Rodgers’s side look to pick up their first win of this campaign.
An opening Matchday 1 draw at home with Napoli in a 2-2 stalemate was considered a reasonable result but The Foxes will be keen to set the record straight following their recent 1-0 defeat away from home at Legia Warsaw on Matchday 2.
Leicester City have won just one of their previous six away ties at Europa League level but the visitors will be in high spirits after beating United on Saturday.
