Shelbourne continue to improve their performance, as they eliminated Linfield in the previous round with an overall score of 2:1. The Irish team returns to their home turf, where they won their last two matches and will definitely rely on home support to secure an advantage before the rematch. The atmosphere in the team is positive and confidence is growing at the right moment.
Karabakh are still looking for their rhythmThe guests from Azerbaijan have not yet reached optimal form before the start of official matches, playing 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.
Prediction: DrawAlthough 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 take unnecessary risks in the first leg. I expect a battle with a lot of fight and caution, with a draw being a likely outcome of this match.
