Shamrock Rovers face a difficult task as they welcome Ararat-Armenia to Tallaght Stadium, needing to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to keep their Champions League dream alive. The Hoops are expected to adopt an attack-minded approach from the opening whistle, knowing there is no room for caution. Despite the setback in Armenia, Shamrock boast an impressive home record, winning four of their last five matches at Tallaght while averaging 2.80 goals per game. They have also created 2.09 expected goals on average at home, underlining their attacking potential. However, Rory Gaffney, Danny Grant, and Victor Ozhianvuna remain unavailable through injury, limiting the hosts' options in the final third.
Ararat-Armenia travel to Dublin full of confidence after a disciplined 2-0 victory in the first leg. The Armenian champions defended superbly while taking their chances at the other end and now need another composed display to reach the next round. Ararat have won seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, keeping seven clean sheets during that period while conceding just 0.90 goals per game. Midfielder Zidane Banjaqui, who scored after coming off the bench in the first leg, is pushing for a place in the starting lineup and could add extra energy to the visitors' midfield.
Considering that Shamrock must attack from the outset and Ararat are dangerous on the counter, Both Teams to Score bet should be considered, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 28 July 2026 at 20:00.
