A chance to move closer to the league phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League presents itself as Ballkani and Shamrock Rovers meet in the third qualifying round. Ballkani are playing their home games at a different stadium, Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri. This first-leg match on Thursday comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The winner of this two-legged tie will proceed to the playoff round, where they will face either Larne or Santa Clara, while the losers will be out of Europe for this campaign.
Ballkani are looking to get back to group action in the Conference League for the first time since 2023-24 and defeated Floriana 5-3 on aggregate in the previous qualifying round.
That win was fashioned by a 4-2 win at home in the first leg of the qualifiers, which made it three wins and a draw in their last four fixtures, including friends. With three of those games seeing Ballkani scoring at least two goals, the home fans, who are visiting a different stadium, will hope for some action.
The Rovers are going to be a tough nut to crack, especially as they kept five clean sheets in a row. They came off a 2-0 win at the weekend and defeated St Joseph's 4-0 in the away leg of the previous qualifying round.
