Shamrock Rovers vs TNS Prediction & Betting Tips (7 November)

Well known by fans of summer qualifications for the various European competitions, Shamrocks Rovers have indeed succeeded in validating their qualification for this Conference League where they are far from making an appearance at the moment. The Irish were first able to hold off Apoel Nicosia 1-1 when they entered the tournament before winning against their Northern Irish neighbor Larne 1-4 15 days ago , which allows them to occupy 10th place in the ranking. Last weekend, the Dublin players failed in 2nd place in the local championship, 2 points behind the champion, Shelbourne, despite their last 4 successes won during the last 4 days. For their part, the New Saints achieved the greatest feat in their history on the previous day by winning against FC Astana 2-0. A major performance for the Welsh club which is the first team in its championship to defend its colors on the European scene.

Before that, TNS had done quite well by only losing 2 goals against Fiorentina 2-0 . On the national scene, the Saints are in 2nd position in the standings with 4 points behind the leader but with 2 games in hand. Last weekend, they secured a 5th successive Premier League victory against Barry Town United 1-4.

Rovers are expected to prepare for this match without substitute striker Gaffney and defender Hoare who are still in the infirmary. Suspended last weekend in the championship, the defense captain, Cleary, will be back. With 13 goals scored in the league, the young striker Kenny is the number 1 danger of this team ahead of the much more experienced Greene (8 goals). The performances of Burns (5 goals), Burke (4 goals) and Watts (4 goals) will also be followed.

This New Saints team is completely unknown to the general public even if some of the players present manage to do well on the statistical plan. This is particularly the case of the valuable Bardley (6 goals), the attackers McManus (5 goals) and Oteh (5 goals) and the quite interesting Williams (4 goals). Against FC Astana, it was the Northern Irish midfielder Holden and the Scotsman McManus who were able to score their team's two goals.
