Egnatia Rrogozhinë vs Shamrock Rovers
📖 The Preview
Egnatia are facing elimination here and need to win this second leg by at least two goals to have any chance of overturning that 3-1 first-leg deficit, so expect them to come out swinging from the off. That desperation, combined with home advantage and a 58% win probability, makes a two-goal performance very plausible. Shamrock Rovers have been decent in recent form and will nick one on the break, which they're capable of doing, but ultimately Egnatia's need to attack relentlessly is what drives this to a 2-1 finish that keeps their hopes alive.
