Match Analysis

Reason For Sporting Braga vs Leicester Betting Tips

• Leicester have won five of their last six away assignments in all competitions.
• Leicester have won all three of their UEL group matches so far, conceding just once along the way.
• Leicester hammered Braga 4-0 when the teams last faced off in early November.

Foxes to extend perfect record

Leicester City were dominated and dispatched by an understrength Liverpool team at Anfield on Sunday, and with their confidence dented, the Foxes need a pick me up ahead of a condensed and crucial run of games.

Securing a place in the knockout round of the Europa League would be just the tonic for City however, and having won each of their first three Group G fixtures, a fourth win on the spin would see Leicester reach the competition’s next phase.

In the most recent of their three group triumphs, Leicester battered Sporting Braga 4-0 at the King Power Stadium in a performance that highlighted the massive gulf in quality between the teams.

We don’t expect the return fixture to be quite so one-sided, though the Foxes are worth backing to win again, especially at the generous prices on offer. Leicester had won five away matches on the bounce before their reverse at Anfield on Sunday, and we expect Brendan Rodgers’ side to find the groove again in Portugal on Thursday.

Alongside our away win forecast, a 2-0 Leicester victory is favoured for our correct score prediction.  The robust Foxes have conceded just one goal in three Europa League outings this term, and having kept a clean sheet against Braga in the teams’ last encounter, another shutout looks possible for the Premier League outfit
