Crusaders FC vs FCB Magpies Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

Prediction published on 12/07/2022, 12:01  by Indran in Conference League Predictions

The Crusaders welcomes the Magpies to Seaview for this second leg match in the Europa Conference qualifying competition. The home team lost the first leg match in Gibraltar 2-1 and will need to win by two clear goals to win the tie. The Crusaders last competitive match before the qualifiers was in May when the won the Northern Ireland FA Cup. They had a friendly match to warm up for this competition but lost that match 3-0 to St. Mirren. In the first leg they got an important score late in the match to give them hope of reversing the first leg result. Crusaders have only won one of their last six matches across all competitions with one draw and four losses. Their home record is just as poor as they have failed to win any of their last four matches.

Magpies scored a shock 2-1 win in the first leg and things could have been even better for them had they not conceded a late goal in the match. They simply need a draw in this match to progress while a loss by a single goal margin will send the tie into extra time. Magpies played their last competitive match before the qualifiers in May and it was in the Gibraltar FA Cup final which they unfortunately lost. They have been very inconsistent in their results as they have won three of their last six matches but followed each victory with a loss. Their recent away record is exactly the same with three wins in their last six matches.
