Leicester hosts Slavia Prague in the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 25th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester is more focused on another tournament. As in the last season, the Foxes are in the group of leaders in the Premier League standings. Then the team sharply slowed down in the second round, but now it is holding at a decent level. The last four rounds brought ten points, and the Foxes managed to beat such opponents as Liverpool and Aston Villa. Rogers praised the players, noting that they have become calmer. And there is a reason for this - Leicester shares 2nd and 3rd places with Manchester United (the same 49 points), and the Red Devils are ahead only due to additional figures. But will the Foxes spend energy on the Europa League? A week ago, they didn’t impress with their game in the Czech Republic, and rather they should be happy with the final score.

In recent years, Slavia Prague has secured the title of the flagship of Czech football. Having tied in two out of three February championship matches, the Red-Whites still have a noticeable advantage over their pursuers. Beyond that, Trpisovsky’s charges are performing well on the international stage. And the loss to Midtjylland in the Champions League qualification already looked like a real failure. But having got in the Europa League, Slavia won four times, beating Nice (twice) and Bayer. It is noteworthy that the Red-Whites showed one hundred percent statistics on their field, where they beat all three opponents in the fall. But outside of Prague, they suffered a defeat not only in Leverkusen but also in Israel (from Hapoel Beer-Sheva). Despite the good statistics in the match with Leicester, Slavia didn’t manage to open the scoring. Schmeichel did his job, and the defense, led by Soyuncu, also tried to keep the hosts of the arena out of the penalty area.
Experts have no doubts about Leicester's victory. But the motivation of the team inspires concern - it is unlikely that Rogers will demand only victory. It’s better to choose an option with Under 3.0 goals scored. Both teams are unlikely to force events on the pitch.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
