Shelbourne are yet to score a goal after five attempts in the UEFA Conference League and they have lost their last four in the competition to nil, while Celje have won both home fixtures in this competition.

Shakhtar could finish at the top of the table with a win over Rijeka and with home advantage they can at least fulfil their end of the bargain with a victory. The visitors are the team in the greater need of the points but they have travelled poorly in Europe and are facing a Shakhtar side in fine form, with seven wins and no defeats in their last nine games.

Both teams have scored in four of Sparta Prague’s last five games, and in six of their previous eight.

Both of these teams have seen 3 of their last 4 games come in under the 230-point mark. These sides are also 17th and 19th in pace over the last 10 games, respectively.
