We said: FC Zurich 2-1 Linfield (FC Zurich to win 4-1 on aggregate)

Both sides have struggled for form in the opening weeks of the new season, but Zurich got the better of Linfield in the first leg and will be the favourites to progress to the next round considering their two-goal advantage. Linfield will be hoping to put up more of a fight in Switzerland, but we can see the hosts edging out their Northern Irish counterparts on Thursday. Read more.
