On the 4th of August, Shamrock Rovers will host Shkupi at Waterford Regional Sports Centre in a meeting of these two Europa League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which is great football weather. Shamrock Rovers is fresh off their 2-1 win against Ludogorets. Aaron Greene scored the first goal for Shamrock Rovers in the 21st minute, then Aidomo Emakhu added another in the 88th minute. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Shamrock Rovers should be reasonably happy with their performance, while shkupi is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Dinamo Zagreb. Arijan Ademi scored the first goal for Dinamo Zagreb in the 47th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Shkupi couldn’t manage to score, and Dinamo Zagreb took the shutout win. Shkupi looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Cephas and Queven da Silva Inacio are the top scorers for Shkupi in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Shamrock Rovers’s most prolific scorer has been Emakhu. The Irish attacker has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
