Shamrock Rovers are a club based in Tallaght, South Dublin, and they are coming to London to take on Chelsea FC. Shamrock is the most successful football team in Republic of Ireland history, but they’re in the third tier of UEFA competition this season- the Conference League. Shamrock Rovers are major underdogs here, but you know they’ll give it all they’ve got, and more on Thursday night.
After all, an Irish team from Dublin, taking on a big money, huge brand name English team, from London to boot?

The history of geopolitics that underscore this matchup should make it all the more fiercely contested. However Chelsea are strongly favored for a reason, they are perfect in UECL play so far, and as such top the competition’s table.
And they’ve done it despite playing their B team, which they will again here.
