Shamrock Rovers will travel to Estadio de Sao Miguel to face Santa Clara in the first leg of their Conference League Playoff round clash on Thursday. The winner of this tie between Os Acorianos and Rovers will enter the Conference League main draw, while the loser will be eliminated from European competition for this season. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Santa Clara made a stunning return to the Primeira Liga last season and are now back in the Playoff round of the Conference League for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign.
Os Acorianos eliminated Larne (3-0) and Varazdin (3-2) in the preceding rounds. Gabriel Silva is their leading goal scorer in the competition with three goals to his name so far.
However, the hosts suffered a 1-0 defeat to Moreirense over the weekend and are now winless and have failed to find the back of the net in their last three games across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers had a solid Conference League campaign last season, finishing 10th in the League Phase before bowing out in the knockouts.
This term, the Hoops beat Molde on penalties in their first qualifying round before getting by St. Joseph’s (4-0) and, most recently, Ballkani (4-1) to reach the Playoff round.
The visitors beat Longford in the FAI Cup this past weekend and are now unbeaten in three matches across all competitions. They have also kept seven clean sheets in their last nine games.

Our Santa Clara vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction
Santa Clara enjoyed an impressive start to qualifying for this competition, but they are now having to deal with balancing domestic and continental commitments and have failed to score in their last three matches.
Shamrock Rovers, on the other hand, are in a nice run of form, but their away record of late has been erratic, with only one win in their last five outings. We feel this is a tie in which the home sides will dominate. Our Santa Clara vs Shamrock Rovers prediction is both teams to score (NO).
