Legia hosts Spartak Moscow in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 9th at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw)
Marek Golebiewski's team is on the 4th line in the standings with six points. Legia Warsaw gained two victories and suffered three losses in five matches. The Legionaries are showing dismal results in the Polish championship. The strongest team of the last season is in the 16th place in the standings after 15 rounds, that is, in the relegation zone. On December 5, the Legionnaires lost to Cracovia away (1-0), having suffered their 10th defeat in 11 official games. Despite the weak results in Ekstraklasa, Legia still has chances to qualify from the Europa League group. To avoid relegation from European competitions in December, the Poles must beat Spartak Moscow in the upcoming home match.

Rui Vitoria's team is in 2nd place in Group C with seven points. Spartak Moscow chalked up two victories, one draw, and two defeats in five rounds. Thanks to a home victory over Napoli in the last round (2-1), the Red-Whites retained good chances of continuing the European Cup campaign. To guarantee at least 3rd place, they must not lose to Legia in Warsaw, and a victory over the Poles will take Vitoria's players to the Europa League playoffs. In the Russian championship, Spartak Moscow demonstrated character results in two rounds in a row. On November 29, with ten men, the Red-Whites achieved a draw against Ufa thanks to a penalty kick in the 94th minute (1-1), and on December 4, they defeated Akhmat Grozny with ten men at home due to a goal in the 87th minute (2-1).
The opponents are in similar conditions. Both Legia and Spartak Moscow are failing in the national championships, and progress from the Europa League group may partially brighten up the setbacks in the local arena. For this reason, motivated teams will fight until the last minute. The outcome of the upcoming game is difficult to predict. Legia has the advantage of the home stands, but the team has been showing poor results in recent weeks, while Spartak Moscow cannot be considered the favorite due to the unstable game. The Red-Whites have a trend to exchange goals. They scored and conceded in the last ten official matches. The same outcome was recorded in four out of six previous Legia’s matches in all tournaments. Therefore, we are likely to see goals in both nets.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
