Caernarfon Town FC vs Crusaders FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League
by Ian John in Conference League Predictions
Welsh and Irish fans will tune in to S4C on Thursday night, as the channel will show live coverage of the Conference League 1st Round Qualifier match between Caernarfon Town and Crusaders. Caernarfon Town qualified for the Conference League through the playoffs in the Welsh Premier League end-of-season mix. The Canaries face a relatively short trip across the North Sea for the second leg of this tie with The Hatchetmen, who finished fourth in the NIFL Premiership last season.
The Welsh side are very inexperienced in Europe, with this being their first European campaign. Contrastingly, Crusaders have a wealth of European experience, going back to the 1967/68 season when they first qualified for the European Cup Winners Cup. That said, it took the Northern Irish side a long time to win their first European tie against Ekranas in 2014/15. Since then, they have won their first qualifying round games in the Europa League in 2019/20 and the Conference League in the past two seasons. However, their interest has ended at the second qualifying round in all three past campaigns.
This will be a brand new adventure for Caernarfon Town and their fans, and it will be one that the Welsh club will cherish. They finished the Welsh season in fifth place in the table, but their playoff heroics earned them a first-ever spot in Europe. That said, they have struggled against better-quality teams, losing 8-1 and then 7-1 to Welsh Champions The New Saints, which does not bode well for the visit of Crusaders to The Oval.

Our Caernarfon Town FC vs Crusaders FC Prediction
Our Caernarfon Town vs Crusaders Prediction is: Crusaders to win and both teams to score.
Crusaders' mix of better-quality league opponents and lengthy history in European competition means that they start this game as the favourites with the bookmakers, and it is not difficult to see why.
Wins in all of their last three 1st Qualifying Round ties in Europe means that Crusaders have plenty of the experience required at this level, which their Welsh opponents simply do not possess.
Caenarfon’s form is such that the data suggests that they will score a goal, but Crusaders should still take the lead with them back for the second leg in Belfast in a week’s time.
