Match
start: 20:45 (GMT+2)

Friday during the start match of the 13th
round of RFPL Spartak had won over Akhmat in Grozny with the score
1:2. Here at the 72nd
minute with the score 1:1 the winning goal was scored by the
Paraguayan midfielder Lorenzo Melgarejo.
After
such a victory the red and whites had increased their total number of
points to 20 (+5=5-3) and now are taking the 5th
line of the tournament bracket. And now the team of Massimo Carrera
is getting ready to the forthcoming battle against Sevilla.
Spartak
(the head coach Massimo Carrera)
The
5th
Champions League’s group E is the only group out of 8 groups which
doesn’t have the bright favorite according to 2 last rounds. Now
the leader of the group Sevilla has 4 points, Liverpool and Spartak
have two points each and the last 4th
place is taken by the champion of Slovenia Maribor with one gained
point. And that is why the champion of Russia during the home battle
with the leader needs to earn at least one point.
Sevilla
Spain (the head coach Eduardo Berizzo)
The
only leader of the group E is getting ready for the forthcoming
battle in Moscow in absolutely different mood. During the last
calendar match of Spanish La Liga the main club of Andalucía had
lost to the main club of the Basque country (1:0). At the 43rd
minute the attacking midfielder of the hosts Mikel Vesga had opened
the score. And after the break, despite all exertions of the guests, Athletic
had managed to save the gained advantage. And though all opponents of
Sevilla in the champions race play all matches a little bit later the
team of Eduardo Berizzo will lose its current second line according
to the results of the 8th
round.
Match
prediction
The
last battle at the San Mames stadium has vividly demonstrated that
the game of Sevilla is not as bright and confident as at Ramon
stadium. Of course, with such a team the champion of Russia can and
must fight for the victory at overcrowded Otkritie Arena. It is
obvious, that it will be a real full house and that is why the factor
of home field should become a decisive one.
Spartak
– 4.50, draw – 3.75, Sevilla –1.73;
