[Football- 'Europa League'] 9.12/ 18:45 Legia- Spartak
Despite the fact that a total of 32 matches in the last round of LE and LK, it is difficult to choose something specific. I decided to look at the Legia game because this group turned out to be the most equal of all and each of the 4 teams may or may not be promoted to the next stage of entertainment. It is enough to mention that the leading Leicester has 8 points, and the last Legia 6, so everything is possible. There is no need to write more about Legia's game because everyone knows what it is like in the home country. Relegation zone after 15 matches and just 12 points. allows Legia to place 16th. In the Europa League, also after an excellent beginning, there was a real sobering up and the current position reflects the real situation in the confrontation with rivals.
In Moscow, as we know, Legia won an unexpected and quite happy victory, looking at the course of the meeting, today it will be very difficult to repeat this result. Spartak in away matches defeated Napoli (2: 3) and took a point from Leicester (1-1), a draw today guarantees the team from Moscow a participation in the 1/16 Conference League in the spring, but only a victory ensures that they will continue to play in the Europa League. So, for sure, Spartak has something to play for, and looking at the current form of the Varsovians and the course of the first meeting with Moscow, the Russians will want to pay back for that defeat, in addition, in confrontations with our teams, it is a matter of honor for the neighbors from across the eastern border to beat the Polish team, which is a lot here. It has a political aspect, too, especially now.
Both teams have their own staffing problems, but I have the impression that Spartak has a longer bench and it is easier to fill holes. Considering that Abu Hanna and Maik Nawrocki were not at the coach's disposal before, the situation in the defense line of the Warsaw team looks truly dramatic. Only Mateusz Wieteska, Filip Mladenović, Mateusz Hołownia and Yuri Ribeiro can be ready to play. After the match with Jagiellonia, Rose (broken nose) and Johansson (biceps muscle) also dropped out of the squad. In Spartak, Jordan Larsson and Maximiliano Caufriez are players who have suffered injuries in the last matches and will not play against Legia. Ponce and Maslov are also among the more important players out of the game due to injuries. Due to the excess of yellow cards, we will not see Sobolev and Litvinov on Thursday. The lack of the former may be acute, because the Russian scored the most points in the Canadian league in this season (7).
As you can see, there are many problems in both teams, it promises to be a fight match and in this it gives the visitors more chances for the reasons I wrote earlier.
