Leicester City vs Slavia Prague Preview

Slavia had arguably the better opportunities in the first leg but truthfully neither side looked like scoring in the Czech capital last Thursday, which was somewhat of a turn up for the books for Leicester in particular.

The Foxes are the fourth-top scorers in the Premier League with 44 goals to their name and struck nine times without conceding at the King Power Stadium during the Europa League group stage, which will give them plenty of confidence for this one.

Although the Prague side have a strong record in front of goal on a domestic scale, they have struggled in away European games, losing comfortably to Midtjylland, Bayer Leverkusen and Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the last six months and beating only a relegation-threatened Nice side.

Leicester City vs Slavia Prague Tips and Predictions

Leicester should be able to see off a Slavia side that struggles on their travels and the 6/4 (2.50) price with bet365 on Brendan Rodgers’ to win with a -1 handicap is the best bet for this Europa League clash.
