Dundalk Team News
Dundalk finished the previous season in the Irish Premier Division in a lofty third place, with the same number of points as second-placed Derry City but with a worse goal difference. The new championship is already underway, and after 25 matches played, Dundalk is in fifth place in the table, but with only eight points less than the first-placed Shamrock, whom they defeated 2:0 three weeks ago.
Dundalk achieved their most tremendous success in Europe two years ago when they reached the Europa League group stage. Everyone in the club wants to repeat this success in the Conference League, but it can be worrying that they failed to overcome one of the weakest clubs in this competition.
The motive for Dundalk can also be that in the next round, their opponent would be the winner of the duel KA Akureyri – Connahs Q, of which the team from Ireland, objectively, is much better.

Magpies Team News
Magpies finished the previous season as the third-placed team in the Gibraltar League and secured qualification for the Conference League for the second year in a row.
In preparation for the new season, the Magpies played only one friendly match, against the team from the English Championship, Preston, where they were convincingly defeated 3:0. However, in the first match of the Conference League qualifiers, the Magpies played well against favorites Dundalk and managed to remain unbeaten as the game ended 0:0.
Regardless, we will remember that the team from Gibraltar also played well in the previous season at home, defeating the Crusaders 2:1. Still, they were eliminated from the competition due to a convincing away defeat.

Dundalk vs Magpies Prediction
Dundalk has a week to rest and consolidate after a poor first game in Gibraltar. Objectively speaking, the host is the absolute favorite in this duel, and anything but a convincing victory would be a big surprise. We expect an offensive start of the match, and we believe they will have advantage already in the first half.
