Legia hosts Leicester City in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, September 30th at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw)
Legia is now sacrificing Ekstraklasa for European competitions. The Legionaries are in an unusually low place in the standings of the Polish championship, especially when you consider that the team is the current titleholder. But now all the attention of Czeslaw Michniewicz and his charges is paid to European competitions. At first, they fought for the Champions League, but having eliminated Flora, they lost to Dynamo Zagreb. As for the Europa League, they are doing better. In the qualification, Legia managed to knock out tough Slavia Prague. And then there was a visit to Moscow, and Kastrati scored the winning goal in the last minutes. With such results, the Legionaries may fell fight for progress from this group!

Leicester City won the trophy in their first match of the season. Thanks to Iheanacho's goal, the Foxes defeated Manchester City in the Super Cup final. It's pleasant, but still a trifle, as they don't take this match-tournament seriously in England. Brendan Rogers's players look unstable in the current Premier League and don’t show the results that the fans are used to expecting from them. But it is curious that the manager from Northern Ireland, contrary to the expectations of many experts, does not forget about the Europa League. He fielded a rather combat-ready lineup in the home match against Napoli, and several leaders appeared from the bench. By the way, the Foxes cannot add that game to their assets. Winning 2-0 to the 69th minute, they allowed the guests from Italy to win back, and Ndidi picked a second yellow card. That 2-2 score was repeated in the match against Burnley in the previous round of the Premier League. At the same time, Vardy saved his team from a home defeat, scoring an equalizer in the 85th minute, and it was his second goal. However, Jamie opened the scoring with his own goal.
The teams have not played a single head-to-head match, and this is understandable. Leicester took the start in European competitions only a few times, and Legia, to put it mildly, does not belong to the regulars. Leicester is unlikely to field the optimal lineup in the upcoming game. But the Foxes need a victory to cheer them up. It is unlikely that the Poles will hold back the visitors, who will manage to earn three points.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
