Spartak Moscow host Leicester City in a Group C encounter of the Europa League. The hosts are placed second in the group with three points from the opening two fixtures while Leicester City have managed to get just a single point on board from their two games so far. Spartak Moscow come into the Leicester City clash with a 2-2 draw with local rivals Dynamo Moscow in the Russian Premier League. Rui Vitoria’s men have struggled to get going in the domestic competitions and are currently placed seventh in the same. Spartak Moscow have struggled defensively in the current season across all competitions and hence have managed to keep just two clean sheets in their last nine fixtures. As a result, they have had over 2.5 goals in two out of their last three fixtures. A win for the Russian side will take them level on points with current group leaders Legia Warsaw, given the Polish side do not earn points in this round of matches.

Leicester City also have struggled so far in their domestic competition, the Premier League. Brendan Rodgers’ men are currently placed eleventh in the Premier League and have struggled to deal with their defensive concerns.

Leicester City are in dire need of the three points to stay in contention for qualification to the next round in the Europa League.
