Celje vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Both sides have gone five games without a clean sheet
• Celje have conceded in three of their four European games this season
• Matko scored 18 league goals last term and has struck in two of his last three home appearances

Rovers can cause problems in Slovenia

Both Celje and Shamrock Rovers have dropped into the Europa League after suffering exits from the Champions League. Slovan Bratislava beat Celje 5-0 to put them out of that competition, while Shamrock Rovers lost 6-2 on aggregate to Sparta Prague.

Having been outclassed at the top level, these two are targeting a run to the Europa League proper. However, there are defensive concerns for both. Celje have gone five matches without a clean sheet, as have Rovers.

The visitors have lost three of their last four and they look vulnerable in this trip. Celje have conceded in three of their four games in Europe this term, while the visitors scoring twice at Sparta Prague suggests they can cause problems.

However, Matko looks to be the biggest threat for the hosts, with the striker netting 18 goals last term. He’s struck in two of their last three home matches and he can put Shamrock Rovers to the sword.
