Shamrock Rovers vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (23 July)

The current 4th in the Irish championship got rid of the Icelandic trap proposed by Vikingur in the previous round 0-0 in the first leg, victory 2-1 in the return. No championship on the program last weekend but a 1/16th final of the national cup against the very serious formation of Bohemians to follow. Note that the Dublin residents remained on a championship victory before their first qualifying round, facing Dundalk at home 1-0. Last weekend, this Sparta Prague team will have returned to school and will begin his title defense season against Pardubice at home to follow. An important match to fill up on gas before this perilous trip to Ireland. 14 times Czech champion and above all double title holder, Sparta clearly also has European ambitions with a heavy elimination..

In the 1/8th final of the last edition of the Europa League, against the Liverpool Reds 2-11 on the two matches.... The Czechs participated in four friendly preparation matches for a record of 2 victories against AIK Stockholm 3-1 and the Slovaks of Trnava 3-0, a defeat against Brondby 2-5 and a score parity to close the campaign against Red Bull Salzburg 2-2.

Absent for suspension in the return match against Vikingur, Nugent (1 goal, 1 assist this season in the league) could make his return to the group this evening while midfielder Byrne (non-prolific this season for the moment) will take his place in the suspended box. Author of a double in the return against the Icelanders, the young talent Kenny (21 years old) clearly sent his team towards this 2nd round. In the league, he has already scored 10 goals and remains the team's top scorer, just ahead of Aaron Greene (8 goals). Note the injuries to Gaffney (8 league appearances), Burke (2 goals), McEneff (6 apps) and Poom (important). Will it be operational? We are obviously talking about the prolific Kuchta (17 goals, 7 assists in the league last season), present at the Euro with the Czech Republic and absent in all of the pre-season matches. Same story for Birmancevic (16 goals, 11 assists last year) and Haraslin (12 pawns, 5 offerings), present with Serbia but also eliminated in the group stage.

Him, we know that he will not play, Krejci (8 goals, 7 pancakes) will play in the Champions League this season with Girona (transfer). Finally, we still have a lot of uncertainty regarding the major elements of the previous season and a definite start...
