Player to Watch: Michael Noonan (Shamrock Rovers)
Noonan will carry much of Shamrock Rovers' attacking responsibility as they chase the two goals needed to revive the tie. His movement around the penalty area and finishing ability could prove decisive.
With Floriana expected to defend deep, Noonan's intelligent positioning and link-up play will be crucial in creating openings and putting the visitors under sustained pressure.
Player to Watch: Robert Muric (Floriana FC)
Muric opened the scoring in the first leg and was Floriana's biggest attacking threat. His creativity and ability to drive forward on the counter make him a constant danger.
If Shamrock commits numbers forward, Muric's pace and composure could punish the hosts and potentially seal qualification for the Maltese champions.

Player to Watch: Gianluca Vivan (SP La Fiorita)
Vivan was outstanding in the first leg and kept La Fiorita in the tie with a series of important saves. His command of the penalty area and shot-stopping will again be crucial.
If La Fiorita are to produce a comeback, the experienced goalkeeper will need another composed performance while giving his side the platform to attack.
Player to Watch: Nicolas Perez (FC Una Strassen)
Perez scored the decisive late winner in Luxembourg and will once again be Una Strassen's key attacking threat. His movement in the final third makes him difficult to contain.
With La Fiorita expected to push forward, Perez could find more space on the counter-attack to punish the hosts.
