      Last Game: New Saints 1-0 Linfield
      Tuesday, July 5 at 7pm in Champions League

      We say: Linfield 2-1 The New Saints (2-2 on aggregate; Linfield win after extra time and penalties)

       The first leg result leaves this tie perfectly balanced, and there is every chance the game will go to extra time - particularly without the defunct away goals rule. Linfield were denied by some sharp goalkeeping last Tuesday, but the support of the Windsor Park faithful can spur them on to score more than once. It may ultimately take spot-kicks to decide which side progresses, though. Read more.
