Caernarfon Town vs Crusaders Predictions

• Caernarfon have scored 15 goals in four pre-season games.
• Crusaders haven’t managed a clean sheet in their own four friendlies.
• Crusaders reached the second round of ECL qualifying last year.

Go for goals at both ends in Wales

Welsh outfit Caernarfon and Northern Ireland’s Crusaders meet in Conference League qualifying on Thursday.

This will be both sides’ first competitive outing of the new season so there is an element of the unknown here in terms of form, but backing both teams to score looks a solid option.

Caernarfon have scored 15 goals across four pre-season games in the build-up to this fixture and both teams scored in six of their final eight games last term.

Crusaders are perhaps a level above their hosts but they failed to keep a clean sheet in their own four pre-season games, scoring five goals themselves.

This will be Caernarfon’s first ever foray into European football but Crusaders have plenty of experience. Last year, the Northern Irish outfit dumped out Finland’s Haka in the first round of ECL qualifying and Norway’s Rosenberg needed extra time to beat them in the second round. As such, it makes sense to side with the visitors for our correct score bet and a 2-1 win for Crusaders has a chance.
