Leicester are hot favourites to wrap up first place in Europa League Group G by seeing off already-eliminated AEK Athens at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes have already brushed aside Braga 4-0 and Zorya 3-0 on home turf and are unbeaten in their last eight European matches at this venue.
Punters can get 19/20 for City to prevail by more than one clear goal again here and that is our opening Leicester vs AEK Athens prediction.
Leicester missed the chance to secure top spot with a game to spare when beaten 1-0 by Zorya in Zaporizhzhia last week.
However, conditions were tough in the freezing cold Ukrainian city, where the Foxes still looked the more likely winners until conceding late on.
Sunday’s last-gasp Premier League victory at Sheffield United ended a poor little run of results, though, and should have lifted spirits ahead of this contest.
City were the better team when beating AEK 2-1 in Athens on Matchday 2, with Jamie Vardy scoring from the penalty spot and Hamza Choudhury neatly side-footing in.
The Greek outfit fought back bravely, but Cengiz Under hit the crossbar and James Maddison also impressed in a deserved success for Leicester.
That was on a poor pitch and the Foxes are fancied to be even more dominant on a slick King Power Stadium surface.
Looking at the Leicester vs AEK Athens odds, we feel 19/20 for the hosts to lead at half-time and full-time is another solid option.
AEK kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 drubbing at Braga before losing out to Leicester on Matchday 2.
They bizarrely split emphatic away wins with Zorya, prevailing 4-1 in Ukraine before going down 3-0 on home turf – although they did have Evgeniy Shakhov sent off in the rematch.
Losing 4-2 to Braga in Greece ended any slim hopes of advancing to the knockout rounds and it is hard to see head coach Massimo Carrera putting much emphasis on this match.
Sunday’s 2-1 defeat by Panathinaikos left them fourth in their domestic table, with a big game against Olympiacos coming up as one of three more quick fixtures before a winter break.
Leicester outscored each of their opponents between 15:01 minutes and the half-hour mark in their first three group fixtures.
Let’s go with 23/10 they manage that again here for our final Leicester vs AEK Athens prediction.
