JAKARTA - Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers said he was confident his team could steal the victory in the second leg of the Conference League at home to PSV at the Phillips Stadium, Eindhoven, Netherlands, next Thursday.
"We've shown enough and seen enough to know we can go there and win," said Rodgers, quoted by Antara from Sky Sports, Friday.
Although confident, Rodgers believes the match in the second leg of the Conference League quarter-finals will certainly be tight and Leicester must really strive for it.

In the first leg of Thursday night, Leicester only managed to draw 0-0 against PSV when playing at the King Power Stadium, but Rodgers saw his team show resilience in terms of defense in this match.
The Northern Ireland coach added that this can be done in the second leg and PSV played a little open so that there was space that the Foxes could take advantage of.
"It was very balanced, I thought it was a good game. PSV were a bit more closed than usual, so space was limited, but apart from their chances at the start, we defended pretty well," said Rodgers.
"We had the best two chances in the game. Not too many chances but that's what you expect at this point in the competition."
"With a little more finesse and precision in the passes we could have probably opened the scoring. We are still in a good place."
