Slavia Prague host Leicester at Sinobo Stadium (Prague) in the first round of the knockout stage of the Europa League and the match kicks off at 5.55 pm (UK) on Thursday, February 18. Read our reasons for Slavia vs Leicester prediction and betting tips.
Leicester's debut campaign in the UEFA Europa League continues in the round of 32 with a visit to Czech champions Slavia Praha. Slavia made up for a UEFA Champions League play-off defeat by convincingly coming through a UEFA Europa League section headed by Bayer Leverkusen, while competition novices Leicester made light work of Group G, securing their knockout phase berth with two matches to spare and finishing top on head-to-head above Braga with 13 points.
Champions of the Czech Republic for the third time in four years, Slavia missed out on a second successive UEFA Champions League group stage adventure this term when led again by coach Trpisovsky, were defeated by Midtjylland in the play-offs (0-0 H, 1-4 A). Slavia finished second in their UEFA Europa League, with a run of four successive wins from Matchday 2 to Matchday 5 enabling them to finish ahead of Hapoel Beer-Sheva, behind Leverkusen – who closed the group stage by beating them 4-0 in Germany.
This is the second time in four attempts that Slavia have made it through the group stage to the knockout 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 host the Foxes on Thursday night.
As for Leicester, they finished fifth in the 2019/20 Premier League to qualify for a first appearance in the UEFA Europa League and direct entry to the group stage. This is only the club's fifth European campaign. Their most successful was the most recent, in 2016/17, when, as champions of England, they made their debut appearance in the UEFA Champions League, topped their group, and went on to reach the quarter-finals, where they lost to Atlético de Madrid.
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.

five different opponents from England so far - Leeds, Tottenham, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea - and have only won one of their 11 matches against these sides, beating Leeds 2-1 all the way back in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup quarter final second leg.
Since beating Glenavon home and away in the Cup Winners’ Cup first round in 1961/62, Leicester have won just one of their following 10 knockout stage matches in major European competition (D3, L6), defeating Sevilla in a Champions League tie in 2016/17. Moreover, manager Brendan Rodgers has lost all four of his previous UEFA Europa League round of 32 ties – two in charge of Liverpool and two with Celtic.
Slavia has tasted success in the Europa League before, while Leicester is writing his story in the competition as we speak. The Czech team are no pushovers, especially at home, while Brendan Rodgers will hope that the third time in the Round of 32 of the EL, always with a different club, will be the charm, so BettingKick’s Slavia vs Leicester prediction is: Both teams to score

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
