The first leg ended Linfield-Zürich 0-2. All is set for the decider in this Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round fixture!

Only a few days to rest for the team playing at home, as they played a Super League fixture only four days ago. This match was also played here at Stadion Letzigrund. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Linfield have had more rest.
