A mountain to climb awaits Shelbourne as they welcome Ajax for the second leg, with the Irish side trailing 3-1 after a difficult night in Amsterdam. Given the huge gap in quality and experience in European competitions between the two teams, we predict a 2-1 away win. Shelbourne are struggling for confidence, having lost their last four matches in all competitions. They have conceded 1.9 goals per game across their last 10 outings and are yet to keep a clean sheet during that period. Forward John Martin is unavailable through injury, making the hosts' task even tougher.
Ajax, meanwhile, are flying and arrive on a remarkable seven-game winning streak across all competitions, including friendlies. The Amsterdammers have won all three of their recent away matches, scoring an impressive three goals per game. They also boast an xG of 2.35 across their last 10 matches, underlining their attacking quality. Bounida, Faberski, Kaplan, and Sutalo remain sidelined, but Ajax have enough depth to cope with those absences.
Ajax's outstanding form and 3-1 first-leg advantage make them clear favourites to win Thursday's encounter. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Ajax Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (Shelbourne's matches average 3.4 goals, while Ajax average 3.1).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 19:45.
