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 then switched their focus to securing Europa League football instead.
The Hoops won their Europa League first-leg against Egnatia 3-1 to put them in a commanding position but their trip to Albania was a complete disaster, losing the game 5-1 despite playing the full 2nd half against ten players, now they’ve got to settle for a Conference League play-off.
Rovers return to home soil having suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time since May, after their early cup exit against St Patricks on Sunday, they can be backed at 19/20 with William Hill to bounce back with a win here.

KuPS extended their lead at the top of the Finnish top flight on Sunday with a hard‑fought 2–1 victory away at Lahti, continuing their strong domestic form. That result means they’ve now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches — although that solitary loss did come in their most recent European outing, a reminder of the step up required on Thursday night.
Like Shamrock Rovers, KuPS have dropped into the Conference League play‑offs after falling short in both their UEFA Champions League and Europa League qualifiers. This is their fifth appearance in the competition, but they are still chasing their first ever group‑stage berth, adding extra motivation as they head to Dublin.
KuPS have developed a winning habit domestically and should be competitive here despite the challenge of playing away from home. Their organisation, resilience and knack for grinding out results make them dangerous opponents, and William Hill price the Finnish champions at 5/2 to claim victory in Thursday’s clash at Tallaght Stadium.
