Leicester v Spartak Moscow
Thursday 4 November, 20:00 kick-off
Live on BT Sport
Leicester are finding life tricky in the Europa League this season, but it's certainly not been dull as they face Spartak Moscow again a fortnight after earning their first win of this season's competition in an absolute thriller in Russia.
Patson Daka scored all four goals in a 4-3 victory in Moscow despite the Foxes going 2-0 down in the first half - and the epic games have been plentiful in this group.
Leicester led Napoli 2-0 before drawing 2-2 at the King Power in their opening group game, while Spartak won 3-2 in Naples in a game that saw 15 yellow cards and three reds being shown.
So with both sides and this group producing plenty of action then that's great news for fans of stats-based prop bets for this game - one of the best on Thursday in fact which is why it's the subject of our daily column.
Let's start with cards - as there were four yellows shown in Moscow in Leicester's game, and that was the friendliest of the games involving Spartak in this group.
The Russians got four themselves against Legia Warsaw with eight overall in the game, while Spartak got nine cards in that feisty encounter in Naples.
It's unlikely to get that heated in Leicester, but this is a crucial game so the stakes are high and Turkish referee Halil Umit Meler is in a grumpy mood after dishing out eight bookings in his last league game, while he booked seven players in his only European game this season.
Over 3.5 cards for the Russians shouldn't be too much of an ask.
In the player markets, one price that jumps out is the odds-against mark against Dutch forward Quincy Promes to get a shot in on target - as he's been a prolific and accurate shooter this season.
He's not played in every game this season but he started the first two Europa League games and scored twice while hitting the target three times.
He has, in fact, registered a shot on target every time he's started a game for Spartak Moscow this season, hitting 14 in 11 games overall.
The price seems a little big for a player who will clearly trouble Leicester's wobbly defence this season so has to be included in our Bet Builder double.
