- Egnatia will feel hard done by in terms of their Champions League dreams having lost out on penalties against Celje following a 5-5 draw on aggregate, they’ve never actually made it to the ‘proper’ stage of a European competition but even a defeat here would give them another chance of Conference League qualification.
- Egnatia face a huge task if they’re to keep their European hopes alive after last week’s 3-1 defeat in Dublin, a night where they managed just two shots on target and will need a major improvement to give themselves any chance of turning the tie around.
- The Albanian side can at least take confidence from their recent home form — they’re unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, including both of their Champions League qualifiers earlier this summer. They’re 4/1 with William Hill to progress, but they’ll need something special in front of their own supporters to make it happen.
- Shamrock Rovers fell short in their Champions League qualification bid, losing out to Ararat Armenia on aggregate despite a 2-1 second‑leg win, meaning the Hoops now switch their focus to securing Europa League football instead.
- They backed up last week’s first‑leg victory with a 3-2 win over Dundalk to move eight points clear at the top of the Premier Division, but their strong domestic form will face a real test on Thursday night.
- Rovers are winless in their last five European away games, so that first‑leg advantage could prove crucial here. They’re 11/5 with William Hill to win on the night as they look to finish the job.
