Legia Warsaw vs Spartak Moscow Predictions

• The visitors have kept just one clean sheet in their last 25 Europa League matches.
• Legia Warsaw have conceded first in four of their last five games.
• Both teams have scored in all of Spartaks previous 10 fixtures.

A tale of two woeful defences

Anything can happen on the final matchday in Group C and fourth-placed Legia Warsaw can guarantee a second-place finish with victory over current second-placed Spartak Moscow. The hosts secured a victory in the reverse fixture in Moscow on matchday one and completing the double would ensure their third successive head-to-head win over the Russians. Despite a solid start, Legia Warsaw suffered three successive Europa League defeats, conceding ten goals and scoring just twice in reply. They have an exceptionally questionable backline that is far too easy to score against.

The visitors’ task is also relatively simple, they occupy the second spot currently and a win would possibly see them qualify for the next round as group winners. The omens look good for Spartak as they go searching for three valuable points as they have never lost when playing on Polish soil, winning twice and drawing once. This competition has served as a nice break away from domestic football where they’re languishing in midtable. Their away fixtures in this competition have been entertaining as they concede an awful lot of goals themselves but also score an average of nearly two goals per game.

Goals to come in abundance in Poland

Neither side is that strong defensively and give their opponents chances of scoring with alarming regularity. As a result, we’re expecting both teams to exploit each others poor backlines and get on the score sheet. We also think the visitors can sneak a victory.
