Víkingur vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction: the Hosts Will Make an Advantage Before Game 2

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between Vikingur Reykjavik vs Shamrock Rovers, which will take place on July 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Icelanders made a lot of noise in the previous European Cup campaign, playing very effective matches time after time. However, Vikingur didn't make it to the group stage.

In the current draw of the Icelandic championship, held under the fall-autumn system, Vikingur is leading the national championship after 14 rounds —with a five-point lead. In 14 games, the team, which has been led by Arnar Gunnlaugsson since 2018, has ten wins and just one loss, with a goal difference of 34:14.

As the national championship unfolds, Shamrock finds itself in fourth place after 23 rounds. With nine wins, seven draws, and one defeat, the team has a goal difference of 31:24. Shamrock has a history of international participation, having reached the group stage two years ago in the Conference League. 

Considering the Icelanders' recent results, the upcoming game promises to be an unpredictable clash. Both teams are likely to stick to their attacking tactics.

Also, we don't see Shamrock winning. Irish clubs have long been in the lower echelons of European soccer, and even in a match with the Icelandic champion, they're hardly a favorite.
