3 reasons why Leicester City will beat Sevilla in the Champions League this evening

Safeguard of home leg second

Although the draw could have been a lot worse for Leicester, Sevilla are an excellent side who currently sit third in La Liga, and have won the Europa League for the past three seasons.

And, given Leicester’s struggles in recent weeks, the Foxes must make sure they stay in the tie ahead of the second leg at the King Power Stadium on March 14.

The safeguard of having the home leg second comes from winning your group, and this will certainly play on Ranieri’s mind when they travel to Sevilla, as the Foxes’ home record both domestically and in Europe has been pretty good this term.

By having the home leg second, it also gives them the incentive to get a crucial away goal, and with their ability to defended resolutely and hit teams on the break, this could play into Leicester’s hands on Wednesday.
