TNS will be relatively happy with the 1-0 defeat I'd have thought, gives them a decent chance at home. In recent years, they seem to do well in the first leg and then blow it in the return (last year they lost 2-1 in Iceland, the year before that 1-0 in Lithuania, and the year before won 3-2 at home to Ventspils, and the year before that lost 1-0 in Finland to MyPa.) They lost all ties, so hopefully they can finally get it right this time.
