AEK Athens vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester ended a two-game losing streak last week with that victory over Zorya and after beating Arsenal on Sunday, Brendan Rodgers will be determined to lead his side to three wins in a row for the first time since January.
The Greek side finished third in the Super League last season and despite opening this campaign by claiming two wins, they have struggled in October with only four points from a possible nine.
Their defeat in Portugal last week was yet another example of their struggling attack, which has now managed just two goals in their last four games in all competitions.
AEK Athens vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions
Two victories to nil in a row puts Leicester in good stead to win this one in similar fashion, especially considering AEK’s misfiring front line, and bet365’s 15/8 (2.87) quote on the Foxes to win to nil looks the best bet for this Europa League clash.
