Shelbourne vs Qarabag Prediction (23.07.2025)

Shelbourne continue to improve their performance, as in the previous round they eliminated Linfield with an overall result of 2:1. The Irish team returns to their home turf, where they won their last two matches and will definitely rely on the home support to secure an advantage before the rematch. The atmosphere in the team is positive and confidence is growing at just the right moment.

The guests from Azerbaijan have not yet reached optimal form before the start of official matches, having played several friendlies with mixed results. This lack of rhythm could be decisive against a team that plays confidently at home and demonstrates good organization in defense.

Although Shelbourne appear more stable at the moment, Karabakh have more skilled players who can make a difference even in unconvincing form. The Irish will seek security, while the guests are unlikely to risk too much in the first leg. I expect a battle with a lot of fight and caution, with a draw looking like a probable outcome from this match.
