Zorya Preview – Can Zorya hold foxes up?
Thursday night’s hosts, Zorya, will head into this Matchday 5 clash against Premier League club, Leicester City, on the back of two wins on the trot having recorded a 3-0 win away from home at AEK Athens in the Europa League which was followed by a 3-0 win at Minai in the Ukrainian Premier League.
However, that win in Greece on Matchday 4 ended a prior three-match losing streak in Group G as Zorya had suffered defeats against Leicester City 3-0 away from home and back-to-back defeats at home to Sporting Braga and AEK Athens.
Overall results at home have been pretty inconsistent as Zorya have managed to win just two of their last eight home ties in this competition and having already lost to Leicester City, they may face an uphill battle here.
Leicester City Preview – Can Leicester finish the job?
Leicester City have already qualified for the knockout rounds of the Europa League as The Foxes sit top of Group G with a three-point lead over 2nd placed Sporting Braga and a seven-point cushion over both AEK Athens and Zorya.
Nevertheless, following their poor showing at home to Fulham in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham, Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, will be demanding a much better performance from his side on Thursday night as they look to bounce back with a win in the Ukraine.
Leicester City still remain unbeaten in this Europa League campaign, including three wins from their four matches to date with victories over Zorya, AEK Athens and Sporting Braga, and they’ll need a boost before their upcoming clash with Sheffield United in the Premier League.
