After relegation in the season 2000/01, the club was slipped from 2011 to 2014 even in the 4th league. But with three climbs in four years, the CMUFC returned with the season 2016/17 back into the highest Welsh league. Cardiff MU is currently the only flawless amateur team in the semi-professional Welsh Premier League. The regular season of the Welsh Premier League 2018/19 finished the university team from Cardiff with 30 points in the seventh of twelve places.

Progres Niederkorn – Statistics & Current Form
The Football Club Progres Niederkorn became famous in Europe, especially at the beginning of the 2017/18 season. After six years of bankruptcy following the bankruptcy, Scottish record champion Glasgow Rangers finally returned to the European Cup and scored in the first round on Niederkorn. The Gers were able to win the first leg at home just 1: 0, but after a 2-0 defeat in the return leg in Luxembourg, the return to Europe for the Rangers was quickly finished again. In the previous 13 European Cup games, the yellow-black from the Benelux state had only scored one goal and still can not win a game. Since the success of Niederkorn football has made great progress at home. Series Champion F91 Dudelange reached in the preseason as the first Luxembourg club the group stage of the Europa League and the national team is no longer part of football dwarves. She defied in September 2017 in a friendly France 0-0 and missed in the Nations League Group D2 only just the rise.
FC Progres Niederkorn have already won the trophy four times in Luxembourg and have already been champions three times. In the last six seasons, the FCPN has always come under the top six of the BGL Ligue, but had to give the championship to other clubs precedence. So also in the season 2018/19, as Progres was fourth with 44 points, 15 points behind Master Dudelange. Since Dudelange had also won the cup, handed in the preseason fourth place for the international business. The most successful Europa League season completed Niederkorn last year. Over the FK Qäbälä and Honved Budapest, the Luxemburg came to the third qualifying round. There, however, they narrowly failed (2: 2, 1: 2) on the Russian FK Ufa.
After a nationally disappointing 2018/19 season, coach Cyril Serredszum had to leave. His successor is the German coach Roland Vrabec, who has also looked after FC St. Pauli or FSV Frankfurt. The performers Emmanuel Francoise and Christian Silaj, who were also absent in the first leg, probably miss the return leg. Striker Florik Shala is also beaten.
Expected formation of Progres Niederkorn:
↳ Flauss – Mathias, Hall, Skenderovic, Karayer – Bird – Laterza, Thill, Muratovic, Bah – De Almeida
