Leicester vs AEK Athens Soccer Betting Tips – Europa League
Leicester is for the moment respecting the hierarchy in this Group G of the Europa League but the team, already assured of its qualification for the round of 16, must now consolidate its 1st place (tied on points with Braga). The Foxes launched their European campaign perfectly by winning their first 3 games (Zorya, AEK and Braga). On the other hand, they did less well in the last 2 days with a draw in Braga (3-3) and a defeat on the lawn of Zorya last week (1-0). In the league, Jamie Vardy’s partners are also doing well and are ranked 4th in the Premier League with a record of 7 wins and 4 defeats. After 2 setbacks, they resumed their march forward last weekend with a success acquired with the red lantern Sheffield United (1-2).
Barely in this group of Europa League, AEK is last in the standings with 7 units behind 2nd place. The partners of the striker Ansarifard pocketed their only success on the lawn of Zorya during the 3rd day (1-4). Otherwise, they lost against Braga (3-0 away and 2-4 at home), against Leicester (1-2) and against Zorya (0-3). On the national scene, the team based in Athens is ranked 4th in the standings with 19 points taken in 9 matches. Last weekend, AEK was beaten by Panathinaikos (1-2), thus ending a good series of 4 straight wins.
The staff for Leicester vs AEK Athens
For this meeting, Leicester must still deal with the packages of Castagne executives, Ricardo Pereira and Ndidi and Ghanaian midfielder Amartey. On the other hand, put to rest in the last match of C3, the important Schmeichel, Evans, Tielemans and Vardy should be present. Brendan Rodgers has made a habit of rotating his bloated workforce since the start of C3 and this allows Iheanacho to stand out (3 goals and 3 assists in the Europa League).
Two elements will be missing from AEK Athens: these are the important Chygrynski and Lopes, injured. In contrast, midfielder Shakhov is back after serving his suspension. Iranian striker Ansarifard is the club’s top scorer in the league but he does not necessarily start in C3.
