Shamrock Rovers take on the visitors Shkupi in the first leg of UEFA Europa Conference League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 4th at Tallaght Stadium (Dublin).
Shamrock Rovers still can focus on European competition. The "Hoops" are confidently on the way to the anniversary, the 20th championship title in the Premiership. Having won both in 2020 and 2021, they are now confident leader of the season that began in Ireland in the spring. So they can throw all your strength and attention into the international arena. With the Maltese Hibernian, everything turned out to be decided already in the opening match - after 3-0 there was enough and a goalless draw on the road was recorded. But then there was Ludogorets, with whom the picture was the opposite: they lost on the road, conceding 3 unanswered goals. Nevertheless, at home in the 88th minute they took the lead 2-0, but then the Eagles finally woke up and scored once in return, killing the intrigue again.

Shkupi become the new flagship of football in North Macedonia. The Pigeons were promoted to the country's top flight in 2015. They pretty quickly began to take places high enough to enter European competitions (although there was always little shown there). Last season turned into a breakthrough, which brought the championship title - this is generally the first serious trophy in the history of this team. Moreover, the debut in the Champions League was successful: they defeated the Lincoln Red Imps, and with a score of 3-0. This was enough to get through to the next round even after 0-2 in Gibraltar. It is noteworthy that in the next round the Macedonians again played better in the first match, recording 2-2 in neighboring Zagreb with Dinamo. But in the decisive return match, experienced Croats managed to take a key victory due to the only goal of Ademi, which was scored in the 47th minute.
Shamrock Rovers and Shkupi do not stay in European competition. This will be their first head-to-head meeting. Shkupi are not bad on the road this summer in European competition. But, of course, Shamrock Rovers at home is focused only on winning. We recommend to bet on "total over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
