Petrocub vs TNS Predictions

• Petrocub are undefeated in their last 16 home matches
• Twelve of their last 14 games on their own patch have featured at least three goals
• The New Saints have kept just two clean sheets in their last nine away games

Welsh outfit in for a tough time

The New Saints were comprehensively seen off by Ferencvaros in the Champions League and it is difficult to see them making any progress in the Europa League after being matched with Moldovan side Petrocub.

The Welsh team found the Hungarians far too hot to handle in a 5-0 defeat in Budapest and while they lost just 2-1 at home, there was a gulf in class.

That may prove to be the case again on another trip to Eastern Europe as they take on a team who were unfortunate not to stay in the premier competition.

Moldovans likely to ease to success

Petrocub took APOEL all the way, losing 1-0 in Cyprus to a penalty and then not quite having enough in the home return, which they drew 1-1.

Their opponents in this instance do not seem to be in a similar class and, as they have scored at least twice in 13 of their last 16 home matches, they should win with a bit in hand with a 3-0 home victory of interest to those looking for a correct-score selection.
