Shamrock Rovers v SK Brann - Where can I watch it and what do I need to know?

Shamrock Rovers take two away goals into the second leg of their Europa League tie with SK Brann and will be confident of completing the job on home turf.

The Norwegian side twice led the first leg, through goals from Taijo Teniste and Veton Berisha, but an own goal and a Roberto Lopes header earned the Hoops a draw.

Lopes forced the mistake for the opening goal and he was in the right place against come injury time to nod home Jack Byrne’s corner.

Who are they key players to watch?

Two assists (albeit one for an own goal) make Jack Byrne the man to watch for Shamrock Rovers as the midfield playmaker will look to put his stamp on the home tie.

He’s Rovers’ most creative player and will be frustrated by his relatively low goals tally this season – could he be the man to see the Hoops through to the next round?

He won and converted a penalty in the first leg and striker Veton Berisha will be the man Brann look on to make something from nothing in Tallaght.

The Norway international opted not to join his more celebrated brother Valon in declaring for Kosovo but at 25 he may yet see a return to the international stage with Norway.

Team news:

Neil Farrugia is Rovers’ only absentee as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury, while Aaron McEneff returned to action in the first leg. (Preview here).

Shamrock Rovers 9/5; Draw 21/10; SK Brann 13/10.
