After entertaining fans with seven combined goals in their first match on Oct. 20, Leicester City and Spartak Moscow will renew acquaintances on Thursday. Leicester won that matchup by a 4-3 score, but the English squad only sits in third place in 2021-22 UEFA Europa League Group C standings. However, that’s still one spot above Russia’s Spartak Moscow, with only the top two teams from each group advancing to the knockout round. Stream the match on Paramount+ here.
Thursday’s match will be contested at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England with a 4 p.m. ET. kickoff. Leicester is the -350 favorite (bet $350 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest Leicester City vs. Spartak Moscow odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Spartak is the +850 underdog, while the over-under for total goals is 3.5. Thursday’s match will be streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

UEFA Europa League picks for Leicester City vs. Spartak Moscow
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Spartak Moscow vs. Leicester City picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season. He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Leicester City vs. Spartak Moscow, Green is backing both teams to score at -120 odds. Neither team had any trouble finding the back of the net when they met up two weeks ago, when Leicester scored four times and Spartak scored three. Those totals are the most either team has scored in a game all season, both domestically and internationally.
There’s certainly been no such dramatic improvement defensively for either of these teams since they last met. Leicester hasn’t posted a clean sheet over its last eight games, while Spartak got thoroughly embarrassed in its last away game. Last Saturday, it allowed seven goals to Zenit and has given up 12 goals over its last three games.
Any type of edge that Leicester would presumably have with playing at home is negated by the multiple injuries to key defenders. Green acknowledges that fact and sees Thursday’s affair being another high-scoring, back-and-forth game.
“Leicester’s problem is the defense,” Green told SportsLine. “Wesley Fofana, Ricardo Pereira and James Justin are all injured, while holding midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has also been out with a thigh strain, leaving the defense unprotected… The Foxes have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since beating Wolves 1-0 on the opening weekend of the season. They have conceded in all of their Europa League games thus far too. We could therefore be in for another entertaining game on Thursday.”
