After last week’s massacre, Shamrock Rovers are surely playing for nothing other than pride when they take on Ferencvaros in the second leg of their Europa Conference League Qualifying round match. Despite that, they can expect a buoyant Irish crowd to get behind them from minute one which should set us up for a enthralling spectacle. Ahead of the game, here are some free tips and predictions.

Shamrock Rovers to win

Although they were on the wrong end of a 4-0 hammering to the same opponents last week, that should stand Shamrock Rovers in good stead here. First and foremost, Ferencvaros are expected to field a weakened team with the tie all but wrapped up which should allow the Irish side to get on the front. Secondly, Shamrock Rovers are excellent at home – three wins in their last four home fixtures – so will play with more confidence and freedom than last week.

Over 2.5 goals

Given Shamrock Rovers have to go for broke in an attempt to somehow get back into the tie, this one should be an extremely open affair. While the home side will throw men forward at every opportunity, that will allow Ferencvaros to pick them off on the counterattack. The Hungarian side have scored three goals or more themselves on three occasions in their last six games so they will fancy their chance of getting on the scoresheet on Thursday night.

In a similar vein, the openness of the game lends itself to the both teams to score market. Shamrock Rovers have only failed to score a goal on home turf once in their last 15 matches in all competitions which suggests a blank from the home side is highly unlikely here. Meanwhile, Ferencvaros have eight goals in their last eight away games so they won’t just be turning up to defend.

Shamrock Rovers

Shamrock Rovers will be disappointed with how their European qualifying campaigns have gone so far this summer. After winning the Irish Premier Division by a landslide last season they qualified for the first round of Champions League qualifying where they were narrowly defeated by Icelandic side Breidablik. Now, they are on the verge of exiting the Europa Conference League too which will be of huge disappointment to them after qualifying for the group stages last season.

Ferencvaros

Hungarian side, Ferencvaros showed just how well they can play last week when they blew away Shamrock Rovers 4-0. Like their opponents, they also won their domestic league last season but fell at the first hurdle in Champions League qualification. However, they now look more determined than ever to qualify for the group stages of the Conference League and they can move one step closer with anything other than a heavy defeat on Thursday.
