Spartak Moskva form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Europa League home defeat versus Leicester City with 3-4 on the scoreboard. A huge disappointment for Spartak Moskva in their last match (vs Leicester City). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. As you can tell from the result, the match against Leicester City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Aleksandr Sobolev, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.72. Sobolev scored two goals and hit two key passes.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Dinamo Moskva.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Spartak Moskva as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Spartak Moskva are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
