Head-to-head statistics Egnatia - Shamrock
Egnatia Rrogozhine Team Overview
The Albanian championship has not yet started, and the team is focused on the European season. Egnatia began their European campaign with a win over Petrocub in the first qualifying round of the Champions League, thanks to a brilliant home performance (6:1). In the second round, everything was decided in a penalty shootout after two scoring draws with Celje.
Last season the team won the Superliga for the third consecutive time. Head coach Nevil Dede prefers aggressive attacking football at home and counter-attacking play away. Defensive problems are offset by goalscoring: in five European matches this season the team have scored 15 goals. Egnatia are prolific but concede a lot - 10 goals in qualifying.

Shamrock Rovers Team Overview
Shamrock, like their opponents, started from the first qualifying round of the Champions League. First, Shamrock lost away to Floriana (0:2), but won the home leg (5:1) - an almost identical scenario to the Albanian side's path. In the second round, the opponents were Ararat-Armenia. The team again lost away (0:2), and a home win (2:1) was not enough to progress to the next round of the Champions League. Shamrock are poor away this season - both away matches in qualifying have been lost.
In the Irish league, the team are comfortably top. In 27 matches they have 16 wins and only five defeats, with a goals scored to goals conceded ratio of almost two to one (43:24). The gap over second-placed St Patrick's Athletic is ten points - very little cause for concern.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Shamrock Rovers have lost both away matches in the current European season. In one case they overturned a two-goal deficit, in the other they did not. Now Egnatia face a similar task - a side that has scored 15 goals in four qualifying matches but conceded 10. They have won just once in normal time and drawn three times. Given the Irish side's poor away record, the hosts have a chance of winning, but it may not be enough to progress. The main bet is an Egnatia win. Predicted score - 2:1.
