Viktor Skrypnyk's Ukrainian outfit - nicknamed Muzhyky, or The Men - visit Filbert Way on Thursday for an 8pm BST kick-off as City return to European football after three seasons away.
Former Liverpool and Celtic manager Rodgers has a wealth of European experience to lean upon ahead of the campaign and is excited by the opportunities it will present to his youthful squad.
Speaking during Wednesday's international press conference, conducted virtually at Belvoir Drive, the Northern Irishman spoke in depth about the Club's prospects in the Europa League.
"That’s the idea, to get out and qualify," Rodgers said, replying to a question about City's ambitions in the competition. "That is our aim and then, of course, from there you look to progress.
"You don’t want to look too far ahead. Of course, it’s a great competition for us to be in and it will be a great experience for a lot of the players.
"Some of them have never experienced European football before and this itinerary we have, playing on Thursdays and weekends, it really develops you as a player.
"That development is tactical, physical and mental, but ultimately the aim is to get out of the group and to get out as early as we can."
Zorya, though, are embarking on their seventh successive European campaign following a third-placed finish in the Ukrainian Premier League at the end of the 2019/20 season.
Followers of English football will recall two tight encounters with Manchester United over previous seasons and Rodgers highlighted some areas for Leicester to be wary of ahead of Thursday.
"We anticipate a really tough game," he added. "From just watching the games against Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk, they play a 4-4-2 diamond, which is a difficult system to play against.
"They play it well, so they build the game out well. They look to penetrate with the front two and the midfield four are all comfortable on the ball.
"It’s what you expect from going into a European game. When you’re playing in Europe, the teams you play against are top teams from their countries, so they’ll also be arriving with confidence.
"This is a club which has got about seven years of experience in European football, so they’re used to playing in Europe and in this type of environment.
"It’s a tough game but it’s a game we worked so hard last year to be a part of. There’s so much that has gone on this season and last season already, but we work really, really hard.
"It’s been absolutely brilliant that we got the qualification, but now we want to embrace it and enjoy the experience."
Tuesday's UEFA Champions League action, meanwhile, saw Sevilla play out a 0-0 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and Rodgers says Leicester can take inspiration from the Spaniards.
Julen Lopetegui's men have lifted the Europa League trophy on six occasions since 2006 - a record in the competition - despite often coming up against teams with a greater pedigree in the game.
The 47-year-old believes the Foxes can learn much from Los Palanganas' recent exploits in the Europa League as Leicester prepare for their maiden appearance in its current format.
"I think if you look at Sevilla’s record in this competition, it’s been absolutely incredible in this last decade or so," he continued.
"I remember seeing a stat one year that they won it, they hadn’t actually won away from home in the league, but they were doing so well in European football.
"I watched them last season, seeing them pick up the trophy, and you could see the joy and the emotion of them doing it.
"It was a great moment for them last year, and for the coach as well, who’s suffered a little bit in the last couple of seasons, so it was great for him and great for the players."
