Leicester vs Atletico Madrid Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Atletico to scrape through away against resilient Leicester
Diego Simeone will be very wary of following the same path as Sevilla, as Atletico travel to face Leicester in England this week, after failing to give themselves a large cushion in the first leg.
Match Preview
A goal from the penalty spot from Antoine Griezmann is all that separates these two sides heading into the second leg at the King Power, after the Foxes failed to find themselves an away goal.

Craig Shakespeare’s men haven’t won in their last three competitive games, with Everton and Palace managing to take advantage of their hectic April match schedule across two competitions.
After a fantastic start to life as a coach, the new Leicester boss is facing the realities of balancing their ambitions, with the decision to rest some players at the weekend showing their priorities.

Leicester vs Atletico Prediction and Betting Advice
Wes Morgan’s absence wasn’t necessarily felt last time out, as Benalouane did brilliantly at centre-back, with Shakespeare expected to be able to name a full-strength side on home soil. Simeone is unlikely to make changes either.
Leicester have already picked up some fantastic home results in the Champions League this campaign, but an in-form Atletico Madrid might be a bit too much of an ask for the hosts.
