Powell confident Hoops will continue European odyssey

Given their poor domestic form to date this year in defence of their back-to-back titles, the result at the Aukstaitijos Stadium this evening looks set to define Rovers’ season.

With the tie evenly balanced, securing a third round meeting with Belgian giants Anderlecht is the goal. Ekranas, unbeaten at home in their last five European games, will be quietly confident having secured a 0-0 draw in the first leg at Tallaght Stadium last week.

But Powell is adamant Rovers have nothing to fear.
