How potential Shelbourne v Linfield rematch could make UEFA history
Shelbourne could be in line to face Linfield for the second time this Summer in European qualification action. The League of Ireland Premier Division champions faced off with Irish League kingpins Linfield in Champions League qualifying action last month, winning 1-0 at Tolka Park before drawing in Belfast to progress to the next round. Defeat to Qarabag saw Shels drop down to the Europa League qualification rounds, where they will face Rijeka with the first-leg taking place on Wednesday. Should they win that game, they will face either PAOK of Greece or Austrian outfit Wolfsberger. However, another loss for Shels would see them move down to Conference League qualification, where they would play the winner of the tie between Vikingur (Faroe Islands) or Linfield. Should Shelbourne and Linfield end up facing each other in Conference League qualification, it would mark the first time ever that two teams have faced off in Champions League qualifiers and Europa League/Conference League qualifiers in the same Summer. Europa League play-off draw: Shelbourne / Rijeka v PAOK (Greece) / Wolfsberger (Austria) Conference League play-off draw: Loser of Shelbourne / Rijeka v Winner of Vikingur (Faroe Islands) / Linfield
