Leicester City have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against AEK Athens. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Leicester City have to travel 3300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
AEK Athens form and stats
Athens was eliminated in the play-offs last season in the Europa League.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for AEK Athens's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.
Athens are returning here after visiting PAS Giannina in a Super League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Karim Ansarifard scored the goal(s). Heartbreak before that as Athens lost 0-3 at Sporting Braga's place.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as OFI are coming to town in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from AEK Athens's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
Leicester City form and stats
Leicester City are yet to lose a point on their Premier League travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games. It’s been three wins in a row for Leicester on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Two travels in a row for Leicester City, whose manager B. Rodgers could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Arsenal. Before that, Leicester City secured a home win against Zorya with the score 3-0.
Jamie Vardy came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Arsenal last time out, making the manager B. Rodgers feel like a tactical genius.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Leeds United.
The Leicester City manager B. Rodgers has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 9 goals in 3 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
