Leicester vs FK Zorya Luhansk Prediction & Betting tips
After two defeats in a row in the Premier League, Leicester City is looking for a victory again. Zorya Luhansk seems like the ideal opponent for this.
Leicester City:
The Premier League season started for Leicester City and over the next eight months, The Foxes will have to play 38 league games, two cup tournaments and at least six games in the Europa League until the winter break. In addition, most players are also international, so Thursday’s game against Zorya Lugansk is probably not the highest priority.
In the league, Brendan Rodgers’ side lost two home games in a row against West Ham United and Aston Villa and the tough away game against Arsenal awaits this weekend. Jamie Vardy is slightly injured and will probably rest. Wilfried Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Daniel Amartey are absent anyway due to injuries. In addition, there is a good chance that basic players such as Timothy Castagne, Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes will get a rest. It is certainly not going to see the strongest possible Leicester City, but there will be four players who managed to win the Premier League in 2016.
Zorya:
Zorya Luhansk is not a well-known name on the European fields, although the Feyenoord fans will still know the club from the European meeting years ago. However, Zorya is not a sick team and finished third in Ukraine last season, well behind champion Shakhtar Donestk, but only one point behind Dinamo Kiev, which will play in the Champions League this season.
This season, things are going a bit more difficult with the team from the far east of Ukraine, which has been the scene of the battle between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army for years. Zorya won only one of her first six league games, although it also included two creditable draws against Shakhtar and Dinamo Kiev.
If you look at the selection of the team, you will not detect any well-known name. Most of the selection consists of Ukrainians, supplemented by some Eastern Europeans. No player has a history in a known European league.
