All eyes will be on Tolka Park when Shelbourne and Kalju go head-to-head in the Conference League second qualifying round first leg. The Irish champions will be eager to respond after suffering a shock FA Cup defeat to Kerry, although their domestic campaign remains in full swing with the Reds currently sitting in fifth place in the standings. Shelbourne have been difficult to beat lately, losing only once in their last ten matches, but defensive consistency has been an issue, with both teams scoring in 80% of their recent games. Midfielder Kerr McInroy remains unavailable as he continues his recovery, which could affect Shelbourne’s options in midfield.
Kalju, meanwhile, arrive in Dublin full of confidence after eliminating Linfield in the first qualifying round and extending their unbeaten run to six matches in all competitions. The Estonian side have shown impressive resilience recently, conceding just 1.1 goals per game across their last ten fixtures, while Mihhail Orlov will be pushing for a starting spot after scoring as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Linfield. Kalju have also been dangerous away from home, averaging 1.4 goals per match on their travels, although their defensive record on the road leaves room for improvement. With both sides showing a tendency for goals, an entertaining first leg could be on the cards.
Shelbourne have a strong home record and have lost only once in their last ten matches. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (the hosts’ recent matches have averaged 2.8 goals per game, with Kalju also involved in open encounters).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 19:45.
