Spartak Moscow take on the visitors Villarreal at the Otkritie Arena in the Round 2 of the UEFA Europa League Group G. The match will be played in Moscow on Thursday, October 4th.
In the Round 1 of the UEFA Europa League Group G Spartak Moscow lost to Rapid Vienna with a 0-2 score which was completely unexpected for their fans. Thereby they are on the last place in the Group G with zero points to their credit at the moment. Obviously, there have been some problems in the team of Massimo Carrera lately, they have been having crisis times. Exactly because of that the People`s Team has been unable to get a victory in their local Russian Premier League for four fixtures in a row. Furthermore, they have scored only two goals in those games which has been a horrible sign. In their last three matches Spartak Moscow lost to Rostov with a 0-1 score, beat Chernomorets Novorossijsk with a 1-0 score in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Russian Cup and drew against CSKA Moscow with a 1-1 score.

Before their Round 1 fixture of the UEFA Europa League Group G Villarreal planned on beating Rangers in that game. However, they conceded an unlucky goal on the last minutes of the match and drew with a 2-2 score in the end. Thereby El Submarino Amarillo are on the third place in the group with one point to their credit at the moment because of that failure. It`s worth noting though that the team of Javier Calleja has been undefeated in their local Primera Division for three away fixtures in a row. In their last three matches Villarreal lost to Valladolid with a 0-1 score, beat Athletic Bilbao with a 3-0 score and drew against Valencia with a 0-0 score.
Spartak Moscow and Villarreal have never faced each other before. The upcoming fixture on October 4th will be the first one between them in history. The People`s Team has been in a crisis and has been far from achieving the teamwork lately. El Submarino Amarillo on the other hand have been showing great performances on the away fields. It is likely that the team of Javier Calleja will not lose on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with 0 handicap.
