UEFA Europa League picks for Leicester City vs. Legia Warsaw
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Leicester City vs. Legia Warsaw picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season. He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Leicester City vs. Legia Warsaw, Green has predicted Leicester to win at -150 odds. Along with Napoli, Leicester City is one of the favorites to win the Europa League so Legia Warsaw was unlucky to be drawn in the same group as both of them. Leicester just missed out on the Champions League after it finished a strong fifth in the Premier League last season.
Legia Warsaw has had a rough start to the Ekstraklasa as it currently sits in 15th place of Poland’s top domestic league. The team has lost three out of its last four games and was shut out in two of those. Also, despite its opening win vs. Spartak Moscow, Legia doesn’t have a great history of success in the Europa League, having advanced past the group stage just three times before.
The biggest culprit for Legia has been its defense which is sure to be tested by Jamie Vardy, who currently leads the Premier League in scoring. Vardy also has a host of teammates who could sift through Legia’s defense and help Leicester pick up the victory.
“The Legia Warsaw defense has been poor in recent weeks, and the likes of Iheanacho, Daka, Jamie Vardy, Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Perez and Ademola Lookman have more than enough quality to capitalize,” Green told SportsLine.
