Shamrock Rovers and KuPS are set to collide at the Tallaght Stadium in the first leg of the Europa Conference League play-offs. The hosts have seen each of their last three European games end with over 2.5 goals and our prediction points towards another high-scoring affair.

Shamrock Rovers have had a rough few days heading into this clash. The Irish club is winless in its last two games across all competitions and recently suffered a 3-2 away defeat to St. Patrick's Athletic in the third round of the FAI Cup.

From the beginning of their European journey in the UEFA Champions League qualifying, the Hoops find themselves in Europe's third-tier competition after a heavy 6-4 aggregate defeat against KF Egnatia in the Europa League third qualifying round.

This is not the first time they have participated in the Europa Conference League play-offs, having done so in the previous season, beating Santa Clara 2-1 on aggregate.

KuPS finally ended their three-match winless run across all competitions with a 2-1 away win to Lahti over the weekend in the Veikkausliiga.

That triumph comes after a 2-1 away defeat to Universitatea Craiova in the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round, and they lost 3-2 on aggregate.

In light of that result, Keltamusta dropped into the Europa Conference League play-offs. In the previous edition, they were eliminated by Lech Poznan, losing 3-0 on aggregate.

Our Shamrock Rovers vs KuPS Prediction

Shamrock Rovers enter this clash with a much stronger record in the Europa Conference League play-offs than their opponents, KuPS. Unlike their opponents, who are without a win in six games, they have picked up two victories during that period.

That should give them reason for optimism as they seek to qualify for the league phase for the second successive time. They are at home, where they are averaging 2 goals per game. At the same time, they have shown signs of weakness in defence, conceding 1.8 goals per game; hence, our Shamrock Rovers vs KuPS prediction is over 2.5 goals.
