Spartak possible 11:

Legia Warszawa possible 11:
Boruc, Wieteska, Jedrzejczyk, Nawrocki, Johansson, Slisz, Martins, Mladenovic, Lopes, Luquinhas and Emreli
Prediction: Spartak 1-1 Legia Warszawa
Both sides have been inconsistent this season and yet to hit their straps. With Leicester and Napoli forming the rest of the group, it seems hard for any of tonight’s opponents to progress but a try is a must.
We predict a share of the spoils as either side aims to start well.
Players to watch out for: Ponce, Promes, Lopes and Emreli.
