Spartak Moscow vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
Sevilla are the only club in Group E of the Champions League to win a victory so far. All the other games ended with draw and so in this group everything is still available for all participants. Seville leads the group with four points, while Spartak Moscow with two points is third. The Russian champion is also on the paper in the own stadium of the Underdog against the internationally experienced Seville, which could win some titles in recent years. Can the Spaniards get through in cold Russia and keep the tables? The kick-off will take place at 19:45 in the Otkrytiye Arena in Moscow.
Spartak Moscow :
In the last few years, the Russian record-keeping champion was clearly in the shadow of Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow. The title win in the last season came very surprising, the fans waited no less than 16 years for the championship title. Spartak, who was a member of the squad, In the four seasons before winning the title, the capital club never reached the fifth place. Last season, however, it all came together and was even seven points ahead of the game, three days before the last matchday.
Large investments such as the rival Zenit St. Petersburg could not be made. The Brazilian Pedro Rocha, alongside the loan of Mario Pasalic, was the only significant reinforcement. Spartak was able to feel it already in the current season. Zenit leads the table with 28 points and has already eight points ahead after twelve games. In the Champions League, the Russians played the first two games draws. Both Maribor and Liverpool finished 1: 1. Including these two games Spartak Moscow has been waiting for a win since nine European Cups. Even the home advantage had no special influence in European Cup supporters, the home game with 4-3-11 in the last 18 international encounters looks anything but rosy.
Sevilla:
Seville can be described confidently as a European Cup specialist. The Andalusians managed to win the Europa League from 2014 to 2016 every year. Now on the very big stage Champions League is a success. So far the Spaniards did the job quite well and lead the group with four points. A draw away in Liverpool followed a clear victory against the Slovenian champion NK Maribor. Against Russian teams the Sevilla FC has mostly good experiences. Only one of the last eight matches lost the Spaniards, winning four and playing three times.
In the league it is more or less planned, even if the last game in Bilbao was lost with 0: 1. With 16 points after eight game days, the Andalusians occupy the fifth place, just behind Atlético Madrid. The defeat in Bilbao was avoidable, according to the Argentinian coach Eduardo Berizzo: “In the first half we had chances to go in the lead, but then we got by a throw a conceding, which must never happen.”
