Prediction published on 03/07/2022, 13:31  by Indran in Champions League Prediction

Shamrock Rovers the champions of Ireland welcomes Malta champions Hibernians to the Tallaght Stadium for this match in the Champions League qualifying tournament. This is the first round of the Champions League qualifiers and Shamrock Rovers will want to secure a comfortable cushion in the first leg. They have been in great form and are runaway leaders in the Ireland Premier League. They have a 10 point lead over the second placed team but have played two extra matches. Shamrock Rovers come into this match on the back of a 1-0 away win in the league and have only lost once in their last seven matches with five wins and a draw. Their home record is nothing short of exceptional as they have not lost in their last 19 matches with 16 wins and just three draws.

Hibernians come into this match as rank underdogs as they are currently in a league that has only six teams and they have not had a competitive match in over 6 weeks. They have had two friendly games recently but failed to win either match. Hibernians have lost their last two competitive matches, one was a semi-final loss in the Malta FA Cup and the other was in the Malta Premier League. Prior to these losses they were on a three game winning streak. Hibernians have performed poorly away from home as they have lost three of their last five matches on the road.
