La Fiorita v Linfield Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 4th July 7.45pm

The hype and talk about Linfield’s progress in the UEFA Champions League can’t have been missed by anyone. The Northern Ireland side would face Scottish Champions Celtic in the next round if they were to get through and the tie would have fallen right slap bang in the middle of the politically charged Orange marches. So a rescheduling is on the table for that if it happens, but first, of course, Linfield have to finish the job against their San Marino opponents. They are 1-0 up in the tie.

La Fiorita v Linfield Betting Tips

Well it was a late show from Linfield at Windsor Park in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League first qualifying round match. Linfield got the win on the board over the San Marino champions thanks to an 89th minute winner from substitute Jordan Stewart. The Northern Ireland outfit were on top for pretty much all of the game and they had plenty of chances to put the tie well beyond their opponents. Aaron Burns missed a penalty and Linfield also struck the post with a header in the match as well. But they got there in the end and so they are one step closer to getting that tie for the first time ever against Celtic, which has been hanging over this whole thing like a dark cloud. Linfield to win to nil at bet365 is a price of 17/10.

All credit to Linfield for their persistence in the match as they just kept plugging away and on the evidence of that first leg, there is more than a decent chance that they will get through the second leg. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 for the second leg match up is running at a price of 10/11 with the bookmaker. Linfield are not going to want to throw away their lead of course and La Fiorita don’t look as if they have much to offer going forward away. The San Marino champions didn’t get a single shot on target in the first leg. In the bet365 correct score market, a repeat 1-0 victory for Linfield will return a price of 13/2. It is not likely that the game will explode into life with goals all over the place and both teams not to score at bet365 is a quote of 20/21.

La Fiorita v Linfield Predictions

Linfield to win: This second leg isn’t likely going to be packed with goals at all but after a look at the first leg, Linfield was far superior and they should have enough of the ball to go and win this second leg as well. A Linfield 1-0 correct score result will have appeal for the second leg.
