Leicester City is coming
out of a difficult week that saw the team concede eight goals in two games
against Chelsea and Manchester United respectively. Claudio Ranieri’s lads have
been tagged as no mean team after their 50000/1 bet win of the Premier League
last season. Would they redeem themselves against FC Porto?
The team has found solace
in the UEFA Champions League with a 3-0 win on the road at Club Brugge
providing great inspiration for the club. Can the team respond from last week’s
poor showings and carry on their game against Porto?
FC Porto won their last
league game against Boavista 3-1 at the Estadio do Dragao. The team drew 1-1
with Copenhagen in the opening matchday of the group stage. A loss against
Leicester City would see Leicester take charge of the group and set out a route
to become group winners, an occurrence FC Porto would not want to see happen so
early in the campaign.
Riyad Mahrez and Jamie
Vardy were substituted at half-time in the game against Manchester United at
Old Trafford because of the anticipation and importance Ranieri attached to the
Porto game.
A match against two
native blue sides is a game you cannot miss because Leicester City looks to win
and push further for an earlier qualification so that they can focus on the
league whiles Porto has their reputation to protect?
Prediction: Leicester
City vs Porto (Leicester City Win)
