The Conference League pits Shamrock Rovers against FC Ballkani in the return leg of the third qualifying round. Will the Hoops be able to overturn the aggregate deficit and make it to the play-off? Check out our match prediction below!
Shamrock Rovers made history last year when they became the first Irish team to compete in the group/league phase of the Conference League. They gave a good account of themselves, finishing 10th in the league phase with a 3-2-1 record.
They’ve got some work to do if they are to make a return, however. A 1-0 away defeat in Kosovo in the first leg sees them return to Dublin facing elimination.
It was Rovers first defeat of the 2025-26 campaign as they had won three and drawn once in their four competitive fixtures up to that point. Most recently, the hosts drew 0-0 with Galway United away from home at the weekend.
Ballkani did what was required of them last week as they held serve and got the win on home soil. With the start of the AlbiMall Superliga still a few days away, the Gabriels will have their full attention on this crucial European tie.
The visitors made it past Floriana in the previous round, winning by an aggregate score of 5-3. Ballkani are unbeaten in their three competitive fixtures this season, winning twice and drawing once.
