Prediction: 2-1
Stjarnan
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Windsor Park when Linfield and Stjarnan square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Conference League qualifier. Linfield need a big win in the return leg if they are to advance to the second qualifying round and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Icelanders. Republic of Ireland midfielder Chris Shields should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty in the first leg, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Stjarnan, meanwhile, are determined to defend their two-goal lead in the reverse fixture, but that is easier said than done. As important midfielder Orvar Eggertsson suffered an injury in the first leg, we are tempted to bet on Linfield this time out. Teenager Haukur Orn Brink is widely expected to replace Eggertsson in the starting line-up.
