Progres Niedercorn hosts Cork City in the second leg of the Europa League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 18th at Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange (Differdange)
Progres has already played 3 games in this Europa League. In the previous stage, the team from Luxembourg beat Cardiff Metropolitan on average. Progres won the first home game and lost the second one, but it did not prevent Niedercorn from going further according to the average result. In the 1/8 finals, Progres also gained a good advantage before the return home game.

In addition to this defeat in the first match with Progres, Cork held one friendly game before that and lost to Preston. And the Citizens also played in the local championship. It should be said that their results are not very good - the team ranks seventh in the standings.
Progres is a favorite in my opinion. Representatives of Luxembourg hold their games more smoothly. The team held 3 games after the end of the Luxembourg championship. In the preliminary stage, they passed (as already said) Cardiff on the average of two games and already had experience of victory over Cork. And I note that Progres performs very well at home. In 2019, the team suffered only 1 defeat in the home arena. Cork does not shine in away games, and the last victory was recorded far in May. That is, the Irish victories cannot win for 9 games in a row. Well, the first game also proved that Progres is a bit stronger. I think the advantage of 2 goals is not so weighty, so the hosts will not relax. They will rather wait for the visitors' mistakes and use counterattacks. Perhaps they will focus on defensive actions, I do not exclude such an option. Therefore, I think that Progres will gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Niedercorn to win with 0.0 handicap
