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.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side have lost only one of their last 16 games in all competitions since the end of August, which came in the Coppa Italia away at Lazio earlier this month, and that features a 2-1 league victory over Napoli as well as maximum points against fierce rivals Inter. They are also the holders.

This is a dead-rubber tie as both sides have been eliminated but with home advantage Shamrock can at least sign off with a win. Rovers won 12 of their 18 home domestic league games and have picked up some decent results on Irish soil in Europe, while Malta’s Hamrun have four defeats in five league phase games and have failed to score in all of those losses.

Crystal Palace need a win to jump into the top eight, while the Eagles have created 7.0 xG across their last three games. They’re backed to ease to a win over KuPS, but they have only kept two clean sheets in their last six and have conceded in three of their last four Conference League games, so expect the visitors to find the net in defeat.

Six of Lausanne Sport’s last seven games in all competitions have gone under 2.5 goals and their last three games have all ended goalless. Against a Fiorentina team reeling from yet another Serie A defeat, take fewer than three goals to be scored.
