Prediction

Both teams are in good form right now and they will fancy their chances of a win here. Leicester have a better team and Rodgers will demand a strong away performance from his players. However, Slavia have been quite impressive in recent weeks. 

This should be a close contest and the two sides are likely to cancel each other out in a high scoring game.
