This Thursday (August 12, 2021), The New Saints take on FC Viktoria Plzeň in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.
Ahead 4-2 from the first leg last week at Cardiff City Stadium, it could have been even better for TNS, as going into the 89th minute it was 4-0.
Although the home side are strong favourites with the bookmakers, that won’t come into the equation as far as Anthony Limbrick, the staff and players are concerned.
TNS’ current European form is the best in the club’s history, with four wins and one draw from five games. In the process, the side has scored seventeen goals and conceded four.
Declan McManus – with six goals to his name – is the leading goalscorer in the competition to date, with Leo Smith in fifth place, courtesy of his four strikes.

It was built in 1955 but went through major reconstruction in 2011. The capacity is 11,700 and the Czech national side has played there seven times.
The officials for the game are from Germany and are as follows: Sascha Stegemann (referee), Dominik Schaal and Christian Bandurski (assistant referees) with Florian Badstübner the fourth official.
The time difference between the United Kingdom and Czech Republic is one hour, with the local 7.00 p.m. kick-off time meaning that it’s 6.00 p.m. in the UK.
The game will be shown on Czech TV. Apart from that we have no further details, it all depends on individuals’ access.
TNS Radio will be broadcasting and you can access that via our Facebook and website home page. We look forward to your company.
