Leicester host Slavia Prague at the King Power Stadium (Leicester) in the second leg of the round of 32 in the Europa League and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Thursday, February 25. Read our reasons for Leicester vs Slavia prediction and betting tips.
A goalless draw has given Leicester City a slight edge in this Europa League Last 32 tie, but Brendan Rodgers will know his team need to make sure they are fully focused on the second Leg. Lacking an away goal can be an issue in the European knock-out rounds, but Leicester will be looking to skip this hurdle in what is developing into a very strong season for the club. As for the visitors, they will feel like the opportunity was missed last week when they created better chances in the goalless draw against the Foxes, but the Czech 1. Liga leaders are still in with a chance of progressing.
The Foxes are now playing springtime European football for only the second time, having breezed through their UEFA Europa League group in the autumn, claiming early qualification with wins in their first three matches – against Zorya Luhansk, AEK Athens, and Braga. Despite their first defeat at Zorya, on Matchday 5, they closed their campaign with a third successive home win, 2-0 against AEK, to ensure progress as group winners.
A win at Aston Villa keeps Leicester on course for a top-four finish in the Premier League, but Brendan Rodgers has also targeted silverware. The potential injury suffered by James Maddison is a big blow for Leicester, but Brendan Rodgers won't be looking for excuses as his team look to secure passage to the last 16 of the Europa League. The goalless draw in the first Leg gives the hosts a narrow advantage and form in the competition all season will add to the confidence.
On the other hand, this is the second time in four attempts that Slavia have made it through the group stage to the knock-out phase. Their biggest win so far is a momentous round of 16 win against competition specialists Sevilla before going out to Chelsea, after losing both legs in the 2018/19 Europa League quarter-finals. Slavia took maximum points from their home games in Group C during the autumn – against Leverkusen, Nice, and Hapoel and will be up for it when they visit Leicester on Thursday night.
Slavia Prague are unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions since the 4-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen on Match Day 6 of the Europa League Group Stage, although 3 of the last 4 have ended in draws. However, while being a pretty good home team in recent European seasons, Slavia have not only lost 3 of 4 away games in Europe this season but have conceded at least three times in all of those losses games, while they gave up four goals on two of those occasions, which has to be a concern for the team ahead of this trip to England.
