Game day in Dublin for the first leg of the quarter final between Shamrock Rovers & Sparta Praha.
Shamrock already played a previous round against Vikingur and could make an upset. On their win 2-1 at home they suffered with a red card and Vikingur missed a penalty at the last minute.
Shamrock will be without Byrne who is suspended. Gaffney, Burke & McEneff are injured.
On their side Sparta will be without Kairinen. Haraslin, Preciado & Sorensen are doubtful.
Shamrock qualified for the CL Qual as they were champion of their domestic league with 20 wins, 12 draws & 4 losses for 67 goals scored & 27 goals conceded.
Sparta on their side was champion in their domestic league with 27 wins, 6 draws & 2 losses for 82 goals scored & 32 goals conceded.
Sparta started their season just now so physically it won't be that easy but they prepared a lot this game. Their first game of the league was a small win against Pardubice but they were aiming this game.
The quality difference is really too big and I don't see Sparta be in trouble to play on the road against much a weaker team.
I expect 0-3 or 1-3.
三叶草流浪者和普拉斯巴达之间的四分之一决赛首回合比赛将在都柏林举行。
三叶草已经在上一轮对阵维金古尔的比赛中取得了突破。在主场2-1取胜的比赛中,他们吃了一张红牌,维金古尔在最后一刻罚丢了一个点球。
三叶草将没有被停职的伯恩。Gaffney, Burke和McEneff受伤了。
斯巴达这边没有凯林宁。Haraslin, Preciado & Sorensen对此表示怀疑。
三叶草队以20胜12平4负的成绩取得国内联赛冠军,打进67球失27球,获得了欧冠资格赛的资格。
斯巴达队以27胜6平2负的成绩获得国内联赛冠军,进82球失32球。
斯巴达刚刚开始了他们的赛季,所以体力上不会那么容易,但他们为这场比赛做了很多准备。他们在联赛的第一场比赛中以小胜帕尔杜比采,但他们的目标是这场比赛。
实力差距实在太大了,我不认为斯巴达在客场对阵实力弱得多的球队会有什么麻烦。
我估计是0-3或1-3。
