Sevilla Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Now qualified for the Round of 16, we expect Leicester to continue to show strong performance as they seem to be saving themselves in the English Premier League, losing their last five rounds. Claudio Ranieri's team is expected to show great competition and will not play backwards, if they get at least one goal, it will make things easier for the game back in England. As there is no history of clashes between the teams, there is no standard behavior, but Leicester have already shown what they came to, winning the top spot in Group G. Sevilla will play before their fans and will most likely make at least one goal, We expect a very busy game and with more than 1.5 goals scored.
