Floriana surprised many with their 2-0 home victory in the first leg, but defending a lead away from home in Dublin will be a much tougher challenge. The Maltese side will likely deploy a deep defensive block, aiming to waste time and hit on the counter-attack. Since their domestic league has not started, their match fitness over 90 minutes of high-intensity pressure could be tested, especially in the latter stages of each half.

Shamrock Rovers average 1.8 goals scored per game at home domestically and have failed to score in only 12% of their league matches overall. Given the tactical setup where Floriana will sit deep and defend their two-goal cushion, Shamrock Rovers are expected to dominate possession and territory. This matchup should yield high corner numbers for the hosts and a strong push for goals, while Floriana will focus heavily on defensive discipline.
