Prediction published on 11/07/2021, 07:16  by Nived in Champions League Prediction

Shamrock Rovers are set to host Slovan Bratislava in the return leg of their first Champions League qualifying round. The Irish club trail their Slovakian counterparts by 2-0 after the first leg in Bratislava.

Brazilian forward Rafael Ratao netted a brace during that fixture and has put Slovan Bratislava in pole-position to progress to the next round. Shamrock will be determined to try and claw their way back into the tie though. Especially since they have been in fine form in the domestic league in Ireland.

In addition to scoring the most goals in Ireland’s top-flight, Shamrock Rovers are also the league-leaders albeit on goal difference. Slovan Bratislava, on the other hand, have yet to begin their domestic season in Slovakia and kicked-off their competitive exploits with the best possible result in the first leg.

Without the shadow of a doubt, Shamrock Rovers have a mountain to climb in the upcoming return leg. However, the Dublin-based club will still be keen to take on the challenge in their own backyard. Purely based on form and momentum, the scales are leaning towards Slovan Bratislava. It remains to be seen if Shamrock Rovers can overcome the task in hand by sparking an incredible turnaround in the tie.
