Leicester City vs Slavia Prague prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League 2020-21
After a goalless first leg last Thursday, Leicester City host Slavia Prague at the King Power Stadium in the second leg of their Europa League tie.
Despite playing a full-strength side in Prague last week, Leicester put on an underwhelming display. They may even consider themselves lucky to be bringing the tie back to England with the scores level.
However, they did win in the Premier League after that, beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park on Sunday. James Maddison and Harvey Barnes scored for the Foxes in that game, as they kept their grip on third place in the Premier League.
Slavia did not win their league game at the weekend, managing a 1-1 draw against FK Teplice.
That meant their lead at the top of the league was reduced to eight points, with rivals Sparta Prague winning their encounter to keep the pressure on.
