Egnatia Rrogozhinë vs Shamrock Rovers — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.5: Egnatia have to attack for ninety minutes, and that is what makes this leg live. They lost the first game 3-1, so they need at least two goals to stay in the round. Their European nights have been wide open already, a 3-3 and a 2-2 with Celje and a 6-1 against Petrocub. Their games average just over 3 goals in total, and they let in more than a goal a game, so they do not shut games down. Shamrock are not a side that kills a game either. Their games average 3 goals in total and 12 of their last 19 had 3 or more. They score almost 2 a game and let in just over a goal. The first game between these two had 4 goals in it. This is played at a neutral ground, so neither side gets a home crowd to lean on. Our read is a 2-1 to Egnatia on the night, and that clears what this leg needs. The obvious risk is Shamrock sitting on their two goal lead. They lost 0-2 at Floriana and 0-2 at Ararat-Armenia in their European away games this season, and both were quiet, low scoring nights. A controlled 1-0 for the visitors would beat this. We still expect the chasing team to force the game open.
