In one of the matches of the 5th round of the Europa League group stage, the players of Leicester and Legia will come face to face. Which of the opponents will get the victory in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
"Leicester"
Leicester's players were a priori considered one of the favorites of the group. But so far the Rogers team does not justify this status. By the fifth round, the Foxes are on the fourth line in the standings, losing to the leading Spartak by 2 points. In the last round, Leicester drew with the Russian team, failed to realize a lot of scoring and dangerous moments.
"Legia"
The players of "Legia" were considered the main outsider of the group, but already in the first round the Poles gave a surprise to Spartak Moscow, defeating it with a score of 1-0 in Moscow. In the second round, the Army team created another sensation, defeating Leicester and securing the first place in the group. However, Legia then lost 2 meetings to Napoli, which turned into a fall for the guests straight to the third place in the standings.
Statistics and figures:
- "Leicester" - the favorite of the meeting;
- Leicester have not won for the last 5 matches;
- "Legia" lost 4 meetings in a row;
- The last and only face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Legia.
Forecast
Leicester have yet to show their best football. The team has every chance to take the lead, and after the defeat of Napoli, this is most relevant. I think that Leicester will be able to beat the opponent with at least 1.5 goals difference.
