Each match in the Champions League is a peculiar moment of truth, a mini-deadline because the distance is too short to make many mistakes. On Tuesday the victory to apply for an exit in a playoffs will be necessary to "Spartak" only. Any other result will reduce tournament peripetias of Muscovites to fight against "Maribor" for the third place. Even if to argue less optimistically, the local Victoria over Spaniards will help to leave subsequently Slovenes behind a board of League Europe. So, to a step back – only forward!
"Spartak": current state
After a break on matches of the national teams "Spartak" on a visit not without effort was overcome by "Akhmat". The match passed according to the scenario, to pain reminding duels on season start. Solid game in attack, the good movement, cutting combinations at others gate at terrifying realization. Having scored one goal, "red-white" again finished badly – Taski bore Berisha in the penalty area, Rodolfo restored balance, but for a while. The pernicious system broke in two minutes when Melgarejo Lorenc scored a victorious goal.
To the international meetings "red-white" already won against "Ural" so, against a draw with "Anzhi" and "Tosno", it is possible to tell that the situation started being corrected slowly. And the team already on the fifth place, also lags behind the Champions League zone on only 4 points. In the local plan everything is rather good, but it would be quite good to fix lifting by success on the European arena.
the Most dangerous player as a part of "Spartak", certainly, Kvinsi Anton Promes. Their couple with Louis Adriano looks quite powerfully, as well as Alexander Samedov, flashed in matches for the national team. From these guys it is worth waiting for bigger number of attacks on possession of "Seville". Well and, certainly, we do not forget that at "red-white" there is the best performer of penalties in RFPL Fernando.

And so, "Seville" while plays effectively, but is not really effective to what the squeezeed-out victories over outsiders "Zhirona" and "Las Palmas", and also defeat without chances from "Atletiko" (0:2) indirectly testify.
In last years "Seville" was not too convincing in matches with the Russian clubs therefore, it is considered by many as simpler rival, than "Liverpool", without looking also at leadership in group. And stars of such scale as on the coast Thanks, in heart Andalusia now is not present. Now "Seville" became slabzhe on shots than when it tendered three times League Europe. And it can be used. At "Seville" pronounced leaders are not present br, and it is good for Spaniards and it is bad for Russians – absolutely from any player it is possible to wait for problems.

the Forecast for a match "Spartak" — "Seville"
the Draw. There is a strong wish to believe that "Spartak" will be able to win and repeatedly to increase the chances of eurospring, but … It is not especially trusted after all summer and autumn "feats".
