Slavia Praha will play against Leicester City in the Europa League and we got today’s football prediction for the match. The game is on Thursday, February 18 from 17:55 UK at Sinobo Stadium.
Slavia Praha is in 1st place in Czech Liga with 51 points after 19 matches. The club is unbeaten so far this season in the league and won 9 of their last 10 games. This is beyond impressive as their last clash was at home against Pardubice and was won easily 3:0. They are 10 points ahead of the second team in the standings Sparta Praha. The Czech team was in the group stage along with Bayer Leverkusen, Nice, and Hapoel Be’er Sheva. After 4 victories and 2 losses, the club advanced to the elimination phase of the tournaments.
Leicester City is in 3rd place in Premier League with 46 points after 24 games. The team of Brendan Rodgers is unbeaten in their last 3 matches in the league and won 7 points during that period. The last clash of the Foxes was against Liverpool and was won 3:1. Rodgers beat his ex-club after three goals in the second half for less than 10 minutes. Leicester also beat Brighton during that time and advanced to the next phase of the FA Cup. The Foxes were in the group stage along with AEK Athens, Sporting Braga, and Zorya. The only team that beat them was Zorya in Ukraine 1:0.
Leicester is the favorite in the upcoming clash. However, it will not be easy for them to beat Slavia Praha away from home. We already talk about the form of the team from the Czech Republic and I think that they will be able to stop their opponent at their stadium and avoid losing the first leg.
