Preview
Crusaders head into this after a 2-0 loss to Basel in the 1st leg of the UECL Qualifiers last week.
This was their 3rd loss in the last 4 matches across competitions, leaving them in a perilous position.
The Northern Ireland team beat Bruno’s Magpies 4-3 on aggregate to secure their place in this round. The tie was a very open one and Crusaders just about managed to sneak through.
Hence, after being 2-0 down they have it all to do in the 2nd leg.
On the other hand, Basel drew 1-1 against Servette in their previous Super League clash on Sunday.
Ndoye and Valls scored for either side as Basel played out another draw in the league to secure 2 points from 2 matches.
In the first leg, Basel’s victory saw Ndoye and Szalai score the crucial goals and the Swiss side would hope to see them get the side through in 2nd leg.
