All You Need to Know: Hoops and Shels in Conference League
Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers prepare for their third matches in the UEFA Conference League, seeking their first wins of the campaign. Both games will be broadcast live on Premier Sport 1 and TNT Sports 4, with real-time updates available via RTÉ.ie and the RTÉ News app.
Shamrock Rovers Match Preview
Shamrock Rovers kick off at 5.45pm in Athens. Following a series of challenging fixtures, their schedule remains demanding. The upcoming FAI Cup final on Sunday is a major focus for Stephen Bradley's squad, potentially influencing team selection as points are needed in Europe.
"Achieving a double, one of the few things he has not accomplished in his time in Tallaght, is undoubtedly a priority."
Bradley rotated his squad in the previous game against Sparta Prague to prepare for the cup semi-finals. Even with a full-strength team, Shamrock Rovers face a tough test ahead as AEK Athens recently scored six goals against Aberdeen and sits just behind PAOK and Olympiacos in the Greek league after nine matches.
Shelbourne Outlook
Shelbourne also look to secure their first victory in the tournament, understanding the importance of gaining momentum early in the competition.
