Differdange vs TNS prediction: Home victory on the cards
Key Stats
- Differdange have lost just once across their last five competitive fixtures (W4).
- The Green Whites are on a three-game winning streak at home.
- TNS are winless in back-to-back matches (D1, L1).
- The vsitors are winless in three straight competitive away matches (L3).
Correct score prediction: Differdange 1-0 TNS
Pedro Resende’s men cruised to a 1-0 victory in the first leg away at Park Hall, halting their three-match winless streak in the process. Artur Abreu Pereira’s sole strike gave the hosts a much needed advantage ahead of the match at Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange. Having fallen to Drita in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, this is their last chance to make it in Europe this season.
The same goes for the Saints, who enter this clash winless in six straight games, including three preseason friendlies. They failed to make it past the UCL first round of qualifiers for the third time in four campaigns, and this remains their final chance to boost their reputation by becoming the first Welsh side to secure back-to-back European spots. However, Differdange’s first leg advantage coupled with their home advantage and better frontline quality could prove fatal in TNS' pursuit of securing a second successive Conference League finish.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Home advantage for Differdange
- HOME: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.2%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Differdange return to play at home for second time in Europe, following their 3-2 defeat to Drita last time around. The Luxembourg champions have the momentum on their side, as indicated by bookmakers who price them at 5/4 (2.25) odds – implying a majority 44.4% chance of securing success for a second game in a row.
The New Saints are expectedly the underdogs in this second leg clash in Luxembourg. Craig Harrison will need to inspire his side to clinch a positive result, with bookies backing the visitors with 21/10 (3.10) odds of emerging victorious.
