Shamrock Rovers and Ludogorets Razgrad lock horns in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier at the Tallaght Stadium on Tuesday.
The hosts face the daunting task of overturning a three-goal deficit after suffering a 3-0 defeat in last week’s reverse leg.
Shamrock Rovers failed to arrest their slump in form as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Drogheda United in the Irish Premiership last Saturday.
They have now failed to win any of their last three outings across all competitions, including a humbling 3-0 loss against Ludogorets Razgrad in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier last week.
Shamrock Rovers head into Tuesday's game unbeaten at home since August 2021 and will look to make use of their home advantage as they attempt a miraculous comeback.
Ludogorets, meanwhile, have won their three games in the Champions League qualifiers this season, scoring six goals and keeping three clean sheets.
The Bulgarian champions head into Tuesday’s game off the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw with CSKA Sofia in the Parva Liga on July 22.
Ludogorets have avoided defeat in seven consecutive games across all competitions, claiming six wins and one draw since June’s 3-0 friendly loss to Ferencvárosi TC.
Shamrock Rovers vs Ludogorets Razgrad Head-To-Head
This will be the second-ever encounter between the two sides, with their first meeting coming in last week’s reverse fixture when Ludogorets cruised to a comfortable win.
