Sparta Prague - Shamrock Rovers: Form Analysis
The hosts secured their lead in Dublin last week thanks to goals in each half by Veljko Birmancevic and Tomas Wiesner.
Iron Sparta dominated the match in almost every statistical category, including managing 69% possession and 13 goal attempts while only allowing two shots at their own goal.
Following that result, Sparta returned to their domestic league and picked up a commanding 4-1 win over Teplice, maintaining their perfect record this season with three wins in a row in all competitions.
Notably, Sparta have only scored fewer than two goals in one of their last 11 matches across all competitions dating back to mid-May!
Meanwhile, after beating Vikingur Reykjavik in the first round, Shamrock Rovers have it all to do here to remain in the competition. And, based on their performance last week, it will not be an easy task.
The Hoops were forced to play much of the first leg on the back foot and were unable to create any real chances in transition, managing just seven attempts across the 90.
Rovers are now looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat in all competitions, having been knocked out of the FAI Cup by Bohemians the previous week. They also failed to score in both of those games and are on a three-match losing streak on the road.

Sparta Prague & Shamrock Rovers Squad Analysis
Sparta will have to make do without the services of Roman Mokrovics and Filip Panak due to injury. Martin Vitik was replaced by Asger Sorensen at halftime in the first and we could see the latter given the nod to start this week.
Victor Olatunji, who has scored three goals in each of his last three starts, came off the bench last week and will be hoping to return to the starting 11 in this second leg.
Shamrock Rovers, on the other hand, will enter the second leg with three players unavailable due to injury, including forwards Rory Gaffney and Graham Burke, as well as midfielder Aaron McEneff.
Aaron Greene looked sharp during his cameo appearance in Dublin last week and he may be handed a starting role here, possibly in place of Johnny Kenny.
