Shamrock Rovers and FK Borac return to action in the UEFA Europa Conference League when they lock horns at the Tallaght Stadium on Thursday. Stephen Bradley’s men are one of six unbeaten sides in the tournament and will look to extend this impressive run.
Shamrock Rovers turned in a resilient team display last time out when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Rapid Vienna in their Conference League clash.
Bradley’s side have now gone unbeaten in their four Conference League games, picking up two wins and two draws while scoring eight goals and conceding four so far.
With eight points from four matches, Shamrock are currently 10th in the standings, one point and five places above Thursday’s visitors.
Borac, on the other hand, suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Zrinjski Mostar in their Bosnian Premier Liga top-of-the-table clash last weekend.
Before that, Mladen Žižovic’s men were on a run of six back-to-back victories across all competitions, including a 2-1 win over 10-man LASK in the Conference League.
Borac will be backing themselves to bounce back on Thursday as they journey to the Tallaght Stadium on a run of three straight wins away from home, scoring six goals and keeping three clean sheets since November 7.
