Breidablik vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Breidablik have scored just two goals in four Conference League games.
• Shamrock have managed three goals across their four games.
• Rovers claimed a point at AEK.

Goals at a premium in Reykjavik

Breidablik and Shamrock Rovers face off in a must-win clash in the Conference League on Thursday and that could lead to a low scoring and cagey affair.

Shamrock have just one point on the board after four games, leaving them four points adrift of the play-off places, while Breidablik have two points.

That makes Thursday’s game at Laugardalsvollur in Reykjavik a key game for both teams, and both of these sides will probably need to win their final two games if they are to stand any chance of a knock-out tie.

Indeed, a defeat for Shamrock and their chances of progress would be over. The hosts could also be mathematically out depending on results elsewhere.

Taking that into account and how poor these teams have been in attack – Breidablik have scored two goals across four games and Shamrock have hit three – under 2.5 goals looks the best bet here.

Rovers are big price underdogs here but they may be able to grind out a win to keep their hopes alive. Shamrock defend well and they somehow managed to hold AEK to a 1-1 draw in Greece, while they went down to a respectable 2-1 defeat to big guns Shakhtar Donetsk at home in the last round of games. If the Irish side can get their noses in front they should be able to hold on to a lead and as such a 1-0 away win is the correct score prediction.
