Spartak vs Leicester: prediction for the Europa League match
Spartak are unbeaten for four matches in a row, but will The Red-Whites extend their run in the match against Leicester on October 20? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationSpartak started the European campaign in the Champions League qualification, but failed to advance, losing to Benfica in the first round. A defeat sent the Red-Whites into the Europa League, where they ended up in the group with Napoli, Leicester and Legia - in such a strong group Rui Vitoria's men were hardly considered a favourite for the play-off spot.
Spartak failed to secure a positive result in the first match - in a home game against Legia Red-Whites looked better than their opponent, but in the end of the match Spartak lost focus and Polish side scored the only goal of the match (0:1).
After a defeat to Legia and some failures in the domestic league Spartak became a clear underdog of the away match against Napoli. Red-Whites conceded a goal at the first minute, but then opponent lost one player due to a red card and Spartak got an advantage of that, they recorded a sensational 3:2 victory at Naples and kept a chance for a play-off spot.
Leicester City
EnglandLeicester dreamed about the Champions League in the previous season and team was just one step away from that achievement, but failures at the end of the season left Foxes out of the Champions League zone. Brendan Rodgers' team got a spot in the Europa League group stage, English team, along with Napoli, was considered a favourite for the play-off spot.
In the first match Leicester played well against their main competitor and had a 2:0 lead until the 64th minute, but then team lost concentration and conceded two goals. In the second round Foxes performed even weaker - in an away game against Legia they put up a terrible performance and eventually conceded a goal, which turned to be the only one in the match.

Tip and bets
Spartak performed successfully in recent matches - even a 2:2 draw in the derby against Dinamo is a good result for the Red-Whites, because they were down 0:2 until the 87th minute. Leicester are not playing at 100% in the Europa League, their top priority is English Premier League - Foxes surely won't gift any points to Spartak without a fight, but Red-Whites have a chance to snatch at least one point in this game.
Our prediction - Spartak to not lose
Spartak will probably start the game cautiously, they are unlikely to go all-out attack since the first minutes in the match against such a strong opponent. But even if they will concede, Red-Whites should be able to strike back, it happened a number of times recently - no one will take the risk in an attempt to pick up three points, so there is a high possibility of a draw in this match.
Our second bet is on a draw
