Kasper Schmeichel confident of happy homecoming as Leicester chase Champions League dream

Leicester’s attempts to qualify for the Champions League knock-out stages will be aided by Kasper Schmeichel returning to a ground he 'knows like the back of his hand’.

Schmeichel plays for Denmark at the Parken Stadium and has also watched plenty of Copenhagen games there because the place he stays in when back in his homeland is a two-minute walk away.

Leicester will confirm their spot in the last-16 of Europe’s elite competition with victory over Stale Solbakken’s side, while a draw would do if Porto fail to beat Bruges in the other Group G game.
