UEFA Champions League: Leicester City vs Sevilla preview

Leicester City will be looking to make history once again by reaching the Champions League quarter-finals at the end of their second-leg match against Sevilla at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Sevilla seemed to have the first leg in the bag after goals from Pablo Sarabia and Joaquin Correa, but Leicester got a vital away goal thanks to Jamie Vardy. The unlikely English champions have just three previous European campaigns, and two of them came to an end when they had to face Spanish opposition. Leicester sacked manager Claudio Ranieri after the first-leg defeat at Sevilla and their Premier League form improved significantly as they clinched consecutive wins against Liverpool and Hull City. The Foxes have not played last weekend due to a fixture clash with the FA Cup schedule, so Vardy and his team mates will be well-rested for this game. Caretaker manager Craig Shakespeare will most likely field his usual starting eleven, with only Nampalys Mendy and Islam Slimani having injury problems. Sevilla had a much busier schedule than Leicester after the first leg, they have played no less than four league matches since then. They have won the first two but then recorded consecutive 1-1 draws, including last weekend's home setback against Leganes. They are still third in the table behind giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Atletico Madrid are not far behind. Head coach Jorge Sampaoli has no fresh injury concerns ahead of this game, but Vicente Iborra and Nicolas Pareja will have to be careful as they are one yellow card away from suspension. Probable line-ups: Leicester: Schmeichel - Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs - Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton - Okazaki, Vardy Sevilla: Rico - Mariano, Mercado, Rami, Escudero - Iborra, N'Zonzi - Sarabia, Nasri, Vitolo - Jovetic My prediction: Leicester to win 2-1 (after 90 minutes) Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Leicester win - 3.30 Draw - 3.60 Sevilla win - 2.25
