Shamrock Rovers v Ferencvaros - UEFA Europa League Play Off Second Leg

Shamrock Rovers will host Djurgarden at Tallaght Stadium in their UEFA Europa Conference League Group F clash on Thursday.

Shamrock Rovers joined the Europa Conference League after they were bundled out of the Europa League in the playoff round. The Irish club have been drawn in one of the strongest of the eight groups, with Belgian club Gent, Norwegians Molde and Djurgarden as neighbors. They will start life in Group F against the Swedish team who have maintained a flawless run since the second round.

The Hoops, however, can count on their three incredible poachers Gaffney, Mandroiu and Burke to bring home the bacon.

Djurgarden have won five of the six matches they have played so far in the competition, scoring 15 goals against five. Coach Kim Bergstrand has earned some praise for his side’s consistency. They finished third in the Swedish Allsvenskan last season and are one-point adrift of leaders BK Häcken in the ongoing campaign. Järnkaminerna boast top performers like centre-forward Victor Edvardsen and winger Joel Asoro who will be keen to make a statement at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday.

Shamrock Rovers will aim for a win at all costs to avoid losing their best chance of claiming maximum points ahead of their next trip.
