Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
A place in the Conference League second qualifying round will be at stake when Crusaders and Caernarfon take on each other at Seaview on Wednesday evening. The Northern Ireland outfit need a big win in the return leg if they are to advance to the next qualifying round, but that is easier said than done. All Offord, Stewart, Clarke, O’Rourke, and Lowry got booked in the first leg, but there are no fresh injury worries in Declan Caddell’s team.
The Welsh side, meanwhile, are on a four-game winning run, including warm-up games, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Belfast. Anyhow, a low-scoring affair is on the cards as the visitors are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach this time out. Matthew Jones limped off with injury in the 2-0 win over Crusaders a week ago, with Gruff Williams being ready to step up.
