Dundalk
Despite enjoying 68% of ball possession in the first leg in Gibraltar, Dundalk managed only a goalless draw against the Magpies. The Irish side needs to be much more efficient in front of the goal as they failed to score from their four shots on goal. Dundalk are undefeated at home in seven games.
Magpies
The Magpies have the difficult task of winning in Dundalk to qualify for the second qualifying round. The Gibraltar side has failed to pass the first round in their only participation in Europe last term.
