Breidablik Team News
In the previous round of the strongest Icelandic competition, Breidablik defeated Fram away with a score of 0-1. An early goal was scored in the second minute of the match when Alexander Helgi Sigurdarson assisted August Edvald Hlynsson, who placed the ball into the net. The score remained unchanged until the end of the game.
Currently, Breidablik is in third place in the table with 30 points, which is two points behind the second-placed Valur. They finished as champions last season and secured a spot in the Champions League qualifiers. In their last five competitive matches, they have achieved four wins and one loss.
Breidablik can no longer count on Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson, who recently moved to the Belgian club Patro Eisden in the second tier.
After making several changes to the team last weekend, it is expected that the coach of Breidablik, Oskar Hrafn Thorvaldsson, will have a similar lineup as in the first match. August Hlynsson may retain his place in the starting XI after scoring the winning goal in the league victory against Fram on Friday.

Shamrock Rovers Team News
On July 7th, Shamrock Rovers played their last league match, away against Drogheda, which ended in a goalless draw, 0-0. Despite being the statistically better team in all aspects of the game, they were unable to secure a victory by the end of the match.
After playing 25 rounds in the Irish Premier Division, Shamrock Rovers currently sit at the top of the table with 47 points, four points ahead of second-placed St. Patrick’s. They secured qualification for the Champions League by finishing in first place last season. In their last five competitive matches, they achieved one win, two draws, and two losses.
As for the visiting team, it is expected that they will be without the services of Neil Farrugia and Trevor Clarke due to injuries. Lee Grace was an unused substitute in the first leg after returning from a three-match absence, but he is in contention to start the match on Tuesday. Rory Gaffney represents one of the main goal threats for the visiting team, and he could be joined in the attack by Graham Burke.
