Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Thursday’s Conference League qualifier at Solitude pits together Cliftonville and St Josephs, the two teams that are vying a spot in round 2. The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in Gibraltar a week ago and yet another close encounter is on the cards in the reverse fixture. Home win should not be considered as Jack Keaney misses out through suspension, while fellow midfielder Harry Wilson is sidelined with injury. Shea Gordon is widely expected to replace Wilson in the starting XI.
St Josephs, on the other hand, will continue relying on key midfielder Alvaro Rey, who scored a brace in the first leg. Anyhow, both St Josephs and Cliftonville are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg, which is the main reason why we are going to bet on under 2.5 goals. There are no injury worries in the away team.
