Football Prediction
Chelsea round off their Conference League league phase campaign when Shamrock Rovers travel to Stamford Bridge on matchday six this Thursday. Enzo Maresca’s team has already secured a spot in the last 16 and the top eight, being the only team with a perfect record so far. They just need a draw in this match to finish the league phase in first place. Shamrock currently joined the top-eight after pre-tournament expectations.
This will be the first time that the two clubs have ever met before in a competitive match which makes the trip to London a special one for Shamrock Rovers.

Team News
Chelsea come into this match with several key players injured. Wesley Fofana sustained a hamstring injury in their win over Aston Villa. Fofana will spend four-to-five weeks on the sidelines, so he might return before the end of the year. Another hamstring injury for James means he is currently on the treatment table, and he is set to remain there for the rest of 2024, ruling him out of the hectic festive period. Badiashile picked up an injury in training ahead of the fixture with Brentford, but gave very little away about what type of issue he suffered, and how long it could sideline him for.Mudryk has now missed four matches due to illness, white Felix missed the win over Brentford due to injury. Chelsea have no player missing after Joae Pedro after surviving a domestic ban while Cucurella’s red card will not affect his availability for this European encounter.
On the other hand, injuries seem to have emerged but key players like Jack Byrne and Graham Burke are expected to feature in this match against Chelsea. Bradley Shamrock head coach said that Chelsea is among the top teams but they will have to make up some numbers.
