On Thursday, Leicester receives Braga on the occasion of Matchday 3 of Group G of the Europa League. Both teams want to continue their clear round.
Ambitious in this Europa League, Leicester perfectly meets the expectations in his group so far. Leaders with 6 points on the clock, the Foxes won their first 2 games against Zorya (3-0) and on the lawn of AEK Athens (1-2). In the Premier League, they are currently 2nd in the standings and have a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. After losing two consecutive times against West Ham (0-3) and Aston Villa (0-1), Jamie Vardy’s partners resumed their march forward by winning on the lawns of Arsenal (0-1 ) and Leeds last weekend (1-4).
Used to these European games, Braga has started this new campaign very well. 2nd in group G with 6 points in the bag, the partners of striker Paulinho won against AEK Athens (3-0) and on the field of Zorya Luhansk last week (1-2). In the championship, they occupy 3rd place in the standings after 6 days. Defeated during the first 2 days, Braga has since aligned 4 successes in a row, series in progress. Last Monday, Carlos Carvalhal’s men took the upper hand, at home, over Famalicao (1-0).
For Leicester, the defensive sector is greatly diminished by the injuries of executives Soyuncu, Castagne, Ricardo Pereira and Ndidi and the potential holder Amartey. Not necessarily in the league for the moment, the English international Maddison has however started the first 2 matches of the Europa League.
Braga is only deprived of the usually substitute striker and former Lille Rui Fonte. In the offensive sector, we should find the Argentinian winger Gaitan (ex Lille) and the forwards Horta and Paulinho. The club’s major offensive asset, the latter scored 2 goals in the first 2 days of the Europa League.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
At home, Leicester has a great opportunity to gain the upper hand over Braga and thus take the lead of the group alone. Leicester victory!
