Windsor Park will host Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier between Linfield and Shelbourne. The Blues failed to impress in the first leg, with the team relying on their defence only and it is no wonder the bookies see them as big underdogs in this double-header. Forward Chris McKee is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the first leg, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, managed to turn their dominance into winning goal in the first leg, with Ademipo Odubeko scoring the winner midway through the second half. As Shelbourne will give 100% to defend their slim lead in the second leg, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Joey O’Brien is likely to field the same starting XI that defeated Linfield in the first leg.
