Leicester – Legia : Preview & Prediction
Leicester City, currently 3rd in its Group C, is closely behind Legia Warsaw (1 point behind), 2nd, but can take second place from them if they win this Thursday and have 2 lengths ahead before the last day and a trip to Naples. In this Europa League, the current 12th in the Premier League is on a good dynamic with its 4 points taken against Spartak Moscow (4-3 and 1-1) and intends to capitalize 3 points against the Polish club. Three days after a draw against Spartak Moscow (1-1), Leicester was hooked to Leeds United (1-1) before sinking at home against Chelsea (0-3) last weekend. Deprived of victory for 4 games (2 draws and 2 losses), Leicester can restart the machine against a Legia team who had won the first round (1-0) against the course of the game. In the first leg, the English had dominated the game (62% possession and 18 shots to 10) without finding the fault. Badly in the league and occupying an inglorious 17th place (second to last), Legia Warsaw has the head in the bucket with its 4 consecutive defeats since October 31. Rafael Lopes’ partners accuse 3 losses against Pogon Szczecin (0-2), Naples (1-4) in the Europa League, Stal Mielec (1-3) and on the field of Gornik Z (3-2) on November 21. Humiliated during the last two days in Naples (0-3 and 1-4), the Polish club could suffer a third defeat in a row at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester must win to take 2nd place from their opponent of the day.
Legia Warsaw have the worst offense in the group with just 3 goals in 4 days.
Legia Warsaw have lost their last 4 games played.
The Polish club have lost 4 of their last 5 trips in all competitions.
The result of the first leg (1-0 for Legia) does not reflect the physiognomy of the match as the English club dominated.
Everything can still happen in this group where the first Napoli are only 3 points ahead of the last, Spartak Moscow. Leicester City should make a major accounting operation in case of victory since the English team would settle at least in 2nd place at the end of this 5th day.
