Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes grab vital result?
It’s ben a mixed start to Leicester City’s new season as The Foxes have registered wins in the Premier League against Wolves and Norwich City but have fallen to defeats against West Ham and Manchester City but the east midlands club hold home advantage for this Group C opener against Napoli.
Leicester City have lost just once at home in their previous five Europa League ties which was to Slavia Prague last season but the hosts had previously posted home wins against Zorya, Sporting Braga and AEK Athens so they’ll be hoping they can replicate that sort of form on Thursday night.
Napoli Preview – Can Napoli build on Old Lady win?
Napoli scored an impressive 2-1 home win against Juventus in Serie A on the weekend and the visitors will now head to England for this Group C opening clash against Leicester City in positive mood.
However, although Napoli have made a solid start to their domestic Serie A campaign, winning their opening three games on the trot, results in the Europa League have been far less convincing as Napoli have won just four of their last 11 ties at this level.
In addition, Napoli have won just two of their last six away ties in this competition and they face a tricky trip to the east midlands on Thursday night.
