Crusaders gained 91 points in 38 matches in elite division in Northern Ireland with 79-28 aggregate goal difference. The team finished eight points ahead of closest competitor. The team played only friendly, beating Bala Town 3-0. However, the team isn’t competitive in European arena, losing to Danish side 0-3 at own turf. Crusaders played 13 matches on the road this season, taking nine wins with one draw and three defeats.
The first leg proved the difference between the opponents. We can expect Copenhagen to use some of their bench players as the place in the next round is almost guaranteed. So we can expect the teams to create numerous chances and combine at least three goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals.
