Sochi have delivered excellent football this season, being 4th spot in the table. Spartak Moskva can look both direction in the table from the 9th spot.

Insights:
  • Sochi have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Spartak Moskva have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only four days ago. That game, against Legia Warszawa, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Spartak Moskva.

Spartak Moskva have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
