The Comeback Threat in Live Soccer Betting

1y ago

Enjoying a wonderful campaign last time out, Slavia Prague easily clinched the domestic league title to book a ticket to the group stages of the Champions League. But failure to compete with the top guns in their qualifying section has relegated the Stitched to the Europa League.

Meanwhile, Leicester City made light work of Group G of the EL to advance to the last-32, where they have Sparta Prague to contend. With 13 points to their name, the Foxes finished top of the pile, though level with Braga. Now, they will be looking to kick on to enjoy a good run in the competition.

Slavia Prague vs Leicester City Team News

Participating in the Champions’ League group stages for the first time in a while, Slavia Prague carried the ‘minnows’ tag into the tournament. Handed a pretty difficult qualifying group as well, there was no chance for progression for the Red and Whites.

As expected, Slavia Prague couldn’t secure a top-two finish, and were sent crashing from Europe’s premier club competition at the first hurdle.
However, they must have been delighted to have, at least, secured third-place to guarantee them a place in the last-32 of the Europa League.

Set up with a date against English side Leicester City at this phase, Trpisovcky’s charges will have their work cut-out to make it to into the next round. But the Stitched will be confident about their chances here, given their recent upturn in form – winning four of their previous five league games.

That said, Slavia Prague are lagging behind in the Czech First League title race, with archrivals Slavia Praha threatening to run away with the title. Knowing fully well they are outsiders in the Europa League, the Red and Whites are unlikely to be considering success here.

Instead, they will set their sights on reaching the latter stages of the competition, to gain some much-needed European experience. Leicester City, on the other hand, have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League so far.

Having garnered a whopping 46 points from 24 matches, the Foxes sit third on the log but hold a mere four-point safety buffer in the top-four zone. Also, they are the third-highest scorers in the division, having notched up 42 goals up until now.

In decent form at the moment, Rodgers’ men have remained unbeaten in their previous three matches on the spin – winning the last two. Switching focus to the Europa League in midweek, Leicester will be going for the kill to round off this fixture as early as in the first-leg.

Injured or Suspended Players

Slavia Prague vs Leicester Predictions

Still plagued by a couple of major injuries, Rodgers might be unable to field some of his stars but we expect the Northern Irish gaffer to pick out the strongest available lineup. The Foxes will want a convincing here, to get them on the front foot ahead of the second-leg.

However, given Leicester will be playing in unfamiliar surroundings, they may struggle to produce their best performance. Nonetheless, the English side should have enough about themselves to secure an outright win.
