ℹ️ Team News: AEK Athens
The AEK Athens manager Marko Nikolić will be grateful to have no fitness worries to speak of ahead of this game with a fully healthy squad to choose from.
📋 Team News: Shamrock Rovers
Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is just a single fitness problem for the Shamrock Rovers gaffer Stephen Bradley to be concerned about. Daniel Mandroiu (unknown injury) misses out for this game.
⚡ Prediction
Our feeling is that AEK Athens have it within them to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Shamrock Rovers could well find it tough to score a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
Our tip is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for AEK Athens when the full-time whistle blows.
