Linfield vs FC Zurich Predictions

• Linfield have kept clean sheets in their last four competitive home games
• Zurich have failed to score in three of their five away matches this season
• Linfield are on a run of eight wins from their last 11 home European outings

Linfield hoping to make history

Linfield’s dreams of making a debut appearance in the Champions League group stages came crashing down last month after an 8-0 defeat in Norway to Bodo Glimt.

They had won the home leg of that tie 1-0 though, and a record of eight wins from their last 11 European matches at Windsor Park gives them hope of qualifying for the Europa League group stages for the first time.

Managed by legendary striker David Healy, the Northern Irish outfit have won three of their five competitive games this summer and are on a run of 11 home matches without defeat, dating back to January.

Zurich having a shocker

FC Zurich meanwhile have endured a dreadful start to the season and currently sit bottom of the Swiss Super League having picked up just one point from three games.

They won the title domestically last year but are clearly struggling for goals this time around as they have failed to net in three of their five competitive matches.

Franco Froda’s side were defeated by Qarabag in Champions League qualifying, have lost each of their three away outings and have picked up just two victories in their last 20 away European matches, losing 13 times.

I predict that Linfield will get a narrow win in this match, with 1-0 to the Northern Irish outfit my correct score prediction.
