Shelbourne team news

Shelbourne arrive confident, on the back of a solid defensive display and promising run of form domestically and in Europe. They’ve managed eight goals from a remarkable 96 shots in their last five matches, underscoring their attacking intent and ability to create chances.

Harry Wood is the player to watch, offering a creative spark from midfield and a recent run of form in front of goal.

Linfield team news

Expect Linfield to dominate possession and press forward, but Shelbourne’s disciplined midfield - averaging 20 interceptions in their last five games - will be tasked with breaking up play and launching counters.

Linfield’s relatively clean discipline contrasts with a riskier edge from Shelbourne, who have amassed 12 yellow cards over their last five outings, suggesting the tie could become increasingly open if tensions rise.
