Shamrock Rovers vs Santa Clara prediction

Shamrock Rovers reached the knockout playoff round of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season and the Irish outfit now have a huge chance of making the league phase once again, leading Portugues outfit Santa Clara ahead of the second-leg.

The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round tie, taking place at Estadio do San Miguel in the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, Shamrock Rovers came from behind to defeat Santa Clara by two goals to one. Vicente Lopes gave Santa Clara a 20th minute lead before goals either side of half-time for the Irish, the first from Dylan Grant and then the second from former Lincoln City man Danny Mandroiu.

Shamrock Rovers will likely find things a bit tougher this week, even with home advantage, and the value bet is probably still to side with the Portuguese for this one.
