Shamrock Rovers will be aiming to put their recent European disappointment behind them when they welcome KuPS in the Conference League playoffs. As Shamrock have turned their Tallaght Stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Irish champions suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Egnatia in the Europa League before losing 3-2 to St. Patricks in the Irish Cup at the weekend. However, their home record remains extremely impressive, with the Hoops winning each of their last five matches at home and scoring 3.4 goals per game during that run. Dan Cleary, Rory Gaffney, John McGovern and Victor Ozhianvuna remain in the treatment room.
KuPS, meanwhile, are also looking to bounce back after their Europa League elimination at the hands of Universitatea Craiova. The Finnish side have won 40% of their last 10 matches, but their away record is considerably stronger, with three wins from their last five road games and just 0.8 goals conceded per match. There are no fresh injury worries for the visitors ahead of the trip to Ireland.
As Shamrock have won all five of their recent home games, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Shamrock Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Shamrock's home matches average 4.6 goals per game).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 20:00.
