Shamrock Rovers vs Breidablik Predictions

• Shamrock Rovers are top of the Ireland Premier Division with 13 wins from 25 matches this season
• Both teams have scored in only one of Shamrock’s last eight matches
• Breidablik have conceded 21 goals in 14 matches in the Icelandic top flight this term

Shamrock Rovers can make qualifying experience count

This week marks the start of the first qualifying round in the Champions League and Ireland Premier Division outfit Shamrock Rovers are up against Icelandic outfit Breidablik.

Breidablik have already had to battle through the preliminary rounds of qualifying, thrashing Tre Penne of San Marino 7-1 and Buducnost Podgorica of Montenegro 5-0, but they could have a much tougher time of it against Rovers.

Shamrock Rovers are well-versed in these qualifying campaigns, having made it past the first round last year with a 3-0 aggregate win over Hibernians.

And, although they exited qualifying in the second round last season, they still won the home leg of their encounter against Ludogorets Razgrad 2-1.

At Tallaght Stadium Rovers are a tough nut to crack and they have won seven of their 12 home matches in the Ireland Premier Division this season.

Their most recent home assignment was a crucial 1-0 win over fellow title chasers Derry City and the Ireland Premier Division pacesetters should beat Breidablik relatively comfortably.

Shamrock Rovers have managed to keep clean sheets in five of their last seven matches and with that in mind, a 2-0 win for the home side is the best correct score prediction for this Champions League qualifier.
