Sevilla vs Leicester: Prediction
Leicester City hit rock bottom with the 1-0 loss to Millwall on Saturday. The team has absolutely no confidence and need a miracle to salvage anything from this game.
Sevilla have done exceptionally well at home this season. The 2-1 win against Madrid to end their 40-match unbeaten streak is a perfect example of what they are capable of. It won’t be a problem for them to ease past a team like Leicester.
