Leicester City takes 3rd place in the standings with four points. The Foxes gained one victory and one draw and suffered one defeat. The club looked stable in October and had a streak of five unbeaten matches in all tournaments. The Blues achieved three victories and two draws and ended their successful run only last Saturday in the home game against Arsenal (0-2). Leicester City lost the match against the Gunners in the first half, conceding two quick goals in 18 starting minutes. After that, the Foxes took the initiative and shot a lot on goal, but the visitors were helped by the excellent play of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who made eight saves.

Spartak Moscow is in 4th place in the Group C standings with three points scored. The Red-and-Whites gained one victory and suffered two defeats in three starting rounds. After the October pause, Spartak showed a streak of four matches without victories in the Russian championship and the Europa League and seriously complicated its position in these tournaments. The thumping in the away game against Zenit (7-1) turned out to be a painful blow to the pride of Muscovites. They could partially make up for that failure on October 30 in a home game against Rostov. Vitoria's footballers took the lead in the 78th minute after a goal by Ruslan Litvinov (1-1). But the home team believed in victory too early and missed the return goal a few seconds before the end of the match.
The teams arranged a goal shootout in Moscow, and the return match in England could end with similar production. Spartak Moscow concedes in almost every game, so the Foxes, annoyed by the failure in the game against Arsenal, will have no difficulty in overcoming the weak defense of the Red-and-Whites. However, the Muscovites are also capable of taking advantage of the similar problems of the Blues, who conceded in eight matches in a row. Five out of six previous games of both teams ended with an exchange of goals scored. It is likely that this event will be recorded in the match on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
