The King Power Stadium is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the UEFA Europa Conference League as Leicester and PSV clash heads. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Although PSV and Leicester clash heads in Europa for the first time, we expect nothing short of a top-quality football match.

Leicester City on the ascension

Although The Foxes were held by Manchester United last weekend, it is pretty clear that they have been growing in confidence in recent weeks taking into account how dominant they were in front of the Manchester United crowd. It is imperative to note that they're way down in 10th on the league standings and as such, European football for next season rests on their performance in the UEFA Europa Conference League. In the last 16 second leg, Rennes took them to the limit given that the Foxes had to withstand loads of pressure for most of the second leg. A 2-1 loss in France would still be enough for a place in the last 8 as Rodgers and his charges celebrated a 3-2 aggregate victory. Since Steven Bergwijn's heroics at the King Power back in January, the Foxes haven't lost on home soil- food for thought for their opponents.

Although PSV head into this game unbeaten in their last 13 games, failure to secure maximum points last time outputs them four adrift of league leaders Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie table. There's still a chance to pip Ajax to a domestic cup with both sides set to go at each other in the KNVB Cup final on the 17th of April. The agenda for Thursday, however, would be to move a step glory to Conference league's glory. Something did so graciously when they put four unanswered goals past Copenhagen in the second leg of their Round of 16 ties.
