Leicester vs AEK Athens live stream: How to watch Europa League fixture online and on TV tonight
All there is to know about the group-stage match
Leicester host AEK Athens in the Europa League this evening as they bid to finish top of Group G.
Brendan Rodgers’ side lead the group on 10 points heading into the final gameweek, with second-placed Braga also on 10.
The Foxes therefore need to match or better Braga’s result against Zorya Luhansk tonight, something they’ll be confident of doing as they take on bottom Athens, whom they defeated 2-1 in the reverse fixture in October.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Europa League meeting.
When is it?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST tonight in Leicester.
How can I watch it?
The game will air live on BT Sport 1 HD. Subscribers can also stream it live on the BT Sport app and website.
What is the team news?
Caglar Soyuncu is expected to miss out for Leicester, having re-injured himself just 17 minutes into his comeback last week. Ricardo Pereira is also set to miss the tie through injury.
AEK Athens, meanwhile, will be without suspended defender Emmanuel Insua.
Predicted line-ups
Leicester: Schmeichel; Justin, Morgan, Evans, Thomas; Ndidi, Praet, Choudhury; Under, Iheanacho, Barnes
Athens: Tsintosas; Paulinho, Nedelcearu, Hnid, Mitaj; Mantalos, Simoes, Szymanski; Albanis, Oliveira, Garcia
Odds
Leicester: 3/10
Draw: 19/4
Athens: 8/1
Prediction
With Leicester having already qualified for the knockout stages and Athens’ exit from the competition already confirmed, the main motivator here will be the hosts’ desire to finish top of their group. That, coupled with the gulf in quality between Leicester and Athens that has been on display during the group stage, should be enough to see Rodgers’ side get it done here. Leicester 3-0 Athens.
