Spartak Moscow vs Thun Prediction & Betting tips
The humiliation in front of a home crowd almost made a sensational comeback: FC Thun failed in the first leg against Spartak Moscow and now has to hope for a miracle in the Russian capital.
A win with at least two goals difference is expected to be needed so that it finally enough for the entry into the play-offs of the Europa League. The Bernese Oberlanders are looking forward to the sensation in Moscow.

Although the Schneider-Elf with the away win at FC Lucerne could regain confidence, not really speaks for a Spartak Moscow against Thun forecast on the Bernese Oberland. To be vulnerable was their own defensive in the first leg to counteract the strong offensive of the Muscovites.
Like the guests from Switzerland, Spartak Moscow celebrated a victory last weekend. After the recent successes of the Russian representative, a home debacle against FC Thun seems rather unrealistic. On Thursday night, the match will be kicked off by the Swedish referee Pandzic at 17:45 (CET) in Moscow!
Spartak Moscow:
Four stars on the chest can already guess it: With 20 championship titles in the club’s history Spartak Moscow is the record champion in Russia. In recent years, the red-whites from Moscow but the expectations lagged behind. For the past 18 years, Spartak Moscow has only once celebrated the championship in the Russian Premier League.
The fifth place in the table from last season was not exactly the same as Spartak‘s. However, coach Oleg Kononov will also have the chance to prove himself as coach of the Red-Whites in the new season. After the meager start of the season – only one win from the first four league games – there were three points for Spartak again.
BVB player André Schürrle also played his part in the dominant performance against Akhmat Grozny. With a goal and a goal presentation Schürrle clarified his start-up ambitions. In addition to the BVB new signing, there were reinforcements in the current transfer window through Ponce, Larsson, Mirzov and Til. The 21-year-old Guus Til was with almost 18 million euros transfer fee, the most expensive newcomer in the summer.
With his offensive qualities Til is to enrich the Russian record champions. Only a few days after his arrival in Moscow, the Dutch youngster was already in the starting lineup. In the Europa League Till but would only be eligible for a place in the Europa League, as the Dutchman has already played for AZ Alkmaar in qualifying.
The stronger squad still have the bottom line the Russians. In front of their home crowd, the Red-Whites will have a hard time taking the ticket to the play-offs, especially as Thun has to win by at least two goals – assuming there is no match at the Thun four goals scored. Serious failures complained Coach Kononov also in the second leg.
Thun:
For the Bernese Oberlanders, the weekend saw their first competitive win in the new season. At FC Luzern, Marc Schneider’s team won 2-0 and fueled their confidence before the important second leg against Spartak.
Despite the 2: 3 defeat, Schneider showed optimistic before the duel against the Moscow and put mainly the playful superiority of his team in the first leg in the foreground.
The strong performance was ultimately not rewarded due to reckless rear row mistakes. The whole thing looked good in the second half. With the interim 2: 2 equalizer after 0: 2 deficit, there was a real motivation boost. Bakaev should then dampen optimism with his second goal of the game and third goal for Spartak.
With Marvin Spielmann, the most important performer of the Thun offensive went to reigning champions Young Boys. Due to the manageable budget of the Oberländer all new entries came from the domestic league. Because of numerous failures Schneider was not able to draw on the full yet.
For his team to create the sensation, improvement in the back row is in demand. Spartak’s offensive players often had easy play in half of Thun and could easily play in the Swiss penalty area.
