With a 2-0 defeat in the first leg, Shamrock Rovers must make a complete turnaround to keep their hopes of advancing into the next round of the UCL qualifiers alive. On Tuesday, they have a second chance, as they welcome Ararat-Armenia to Tallaght Stadium. With previous history and their record on home turf, Shamrock Rovers to Score Over 1.5 Goals seems a good route to take.
It all rides on this meeting back on home soil, but they have been in this position before. The first round of qualifying matches saw Shamrock Rovers start on the wrong foot with a defeat away from home, but they were a different team when surrounded by home comforts , charging through with a 5-1 victory. Of course, in international competitions home advantage is a massive factor to consider.
Similar can be said for the visitors, who in contrast to two spotless defensive records at home, allowed three goals in their only UCL away game. The Hoops should have an easier task breaking down their opponents on home soil.

Our Shamrock Rovers vs FC Ararat-Armenia Prediction
After a spell of strong defensive performances, the cracks have started to show more for Ararat-Armenia recently, who have allowed multiple goals in their last two on the road. Plus, they don't have a promising record in European away games, conceding nine goals in their last four, including three goals in their first UCL away game in this round of qualifiers.
Rovers know that clawing back a result here is crucial, and they really have shown their offensive capabilities on home soil recently, so much so that they should have a good idea of how to turn this around, having done so once already in the UCL. Stephen Bradley’s squad has found the net in each of their last eight home matches, with multiple goals netted in half.
Our Shamrock Rovers vs Ararat-Armenia Pick: Shamrock Rovers to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
