Crusaders vs Magpies Predictions
- Bruno’s Magpies lead 2-1 heading into the second leg
- Crusaders have made it into the Second Qualifying Round in their last two European tournaments
This chapter of Magpies’ incredible story may end
If you are not familiar with the story of Bruno’s Magpies, then I strongly advise you type the clubs name into google. Formed in and named after a pub in Gibraltar, so the grandson of the pub’s landlords had a team to play for after exiling to the country. Miraculously Bruno’s Magpies ‘The Magpies’ have earned a spot in a European club competition in just their ninth year of existence. The Magpies qualified having finished 4th in last season’s Gibraltar National League and they take a 2-1 lead with them into the second leg of this tie.
Conditions to suit Crusaders
Crusaders were undercooked heading into last week’s game. The Belfast-based outfit had just one friendly before the first leg last Thursday and were not helped by the sweltering temperatures on ‘The Rock’. Crusaders have reached the Second Qualifying Round in each of the last two European competitions they have qualified for, and they will bitterly disappointed if they cannot overcome the one-goal deficit here against part-time opposition.
Crusaders are a full-time club and should be more than capable of turning Bruno’s Magpies over on home soil. The main selection for Thursday’s game is Crusaders -1 on the 3-Way Handicap. Crusaders will have no excuses on Thursday and back in familiar surroundings, they are fancied to secure a comfortable victory. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 3-0 home victory.
