Crusaders vs Haka prediction for Thursday’s UECL qualification first round second leg fixture at Seaview in Belfast. The game will start at 19:00 UTC.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Crusaders 0 Goal Handicap – 1.62
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2 Goals – 1.47
The Crusaders have covered the o goal handicap in three of their last four home games in Europe. Haka on the other side are on a six-match losing streak in their domestic competitions.
In the Crusaders’ last ten matches in all competitions, there were two or more goals scored. Likewise in Haka’s nine of their previous ten matches, the same number of goals were scored.
Crusaders
The Crusaders returned from Finland with a 2-2 draw in the first leg in an evenly-matched game where both teams shared 50% of ball possession. The Irish now have to get their inspiration from the fact that they won the Irish Cup and the Charity Shield in the past two months.
Haka
It wasn’t the result Haka opted for in the first leg and they have a lot of work to do in Belfast. The Finnish side is in terrible form when playing on the road as they lost all of their previous six away games. The last time they played an Irish side they lost 4-0 on the rod after drawing 2-2 at home.
Crusaders: Tuffey; Larmour, Burns, McKeown, O’Rourke; Kennedy, Lecky, Heatley; Forsythe, Lowry, Clarke;
Haka: Hakala; Traore, Friberg, Auvinen, Mahuta; Herbert, Siira, Purme; Rogerson, Fofana, Zarokostas;
