Match Preview
Shelbourne hosts Rijeka in the Europa League on Thursday, 14 August, at Tolka Park, with both teams eager to make a mark in the competition. Shelbourne's recent form has been inconsistent, recording two wins and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Rijeka has shown more stability, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in the same period. The Croatian side's superior form and experience in European competitions will likely give them an edge. A key angle to consider is the defensive vulnerabilities of both teams. Shelbourne has struggled to keep clean sheets, while Rijeka has also shown moments of weakness at the back. With both sides capable of finding the net, the odds for both teams to score (BTTS) at 2.25 could be worth exploring. Additionally, the over 2.5 goals market at 2.35 presents an enticing opportunity, given the historical trend of their encounters, where two of the last ten meetings have featured more than two goals. Expect an intriguing matchup as both teams vie for a crucial advantage in the first leg.
