Group C first two positions remain in contention to the final day when Legia welcome Spartak Moscow to the Stadion Miejski in Warszawa with the two teams in a position to take either the first or the second position suppose they won.
Legia are the bottom placed side at the moment with 6 points, with 2 points adrift of the group leaders, Leicester and a win here would see them one point on top of Leicester but they too have a game of their own to determine whether they proceed to the knockout stages.
Legia have not been on a good leg in the Ekstraklasa league too and are now placed 16th in the league with 12 points from 15 fixtures played to this point. The position sees them at the relegation zone and are at tie with 3 other sides at the bottom most position.
Legia Warsaw are having a terrible campaign and have just managed a record of 4 wins and 11 defeats after 15 games. In addition, Legia Warsaw scored just four goals in five Europa League matches this term.
On the other hand, Spartak Moscow are the second placed team in group C with 7 points and a win would send them to the first position considering that Leicester don’t win their final matchday fixture.
The visitors come to this match with a mind driven to revenge on the first leg defeat in the opening match of the group stage in the match ended 0-1 in Russia. Spartak managed a much-needed 2-1 win at home to Napoli a fortnight ago to ease the pressure on Rui Vitoria.
Vitoria’s side sit ninth in the Russian Premier League and had failed to win in five games before they triumphed against the then Serie A leaders. Krasno-Belye have since then managed to pick up four points from their last two league fixtures, despite being reduced to 10 men on both occasions.
