Can Shamrock Rovers at least win a game before they get eliminated?
Shamrock Rovers have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks since they were unbeaten in their last six games before the first leg against Ludogorets, which they lost by three goals. So, their chances of getting to the next stage are pretty much non-existent at this point, but hope is still alive at last. After giving some of their key players a rest over the weekend, we expect basically the same starting lineup for Shamrock as we saw in the first leg.
Shamrock Rovers predicted lineup:
Mannus – Lopes, Grace, Hoare – Finn, McCann, Watts, O'Neill, Lyons – Towell, Gaffney
Ludogorets have been on fire lately; they enter this game after winning six of their last seven games, with their winning streak broken by a draw with CSKA Sofia. As a matter of fact, Ludogorets did not concede a single goal in the six games before this draw, including the first game against Shamrock Rovers.
Ludogorets predicted lineup:
Padt – Cicinho, Verdon, Plastun, Nedyalkov – Santana, Show – Rick, Cauly, Tekpetey – Sotiriou
