Craig Shakespeare is not a wizard. After six consecutive winning games, Leicester City were defeated by Everton with 2:4 scoreline in the first away match against the strong opponent. In the UEFA Champions League the Englishmen have sensationally passed through the Spanish representative by knocking out Sevilla in the 1/8. The play on the road is the weak side of “The Foxes” as the team recorded only three victories, five draws and 14 defeats in 22 matches played in this season.
Atletico Madrid and Leicester City have never met before. Taking into account solid play of the Spaniards at their home ground as well as “The Foxes”’ failures on the road, the hosting side must play its best and make as huge spread as possible in order not to repeat Sevilla’s mistake.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
