'Motherwell not going to give up two-goal lead' - Sheridan

Former Motherwell striker Cillian Sheridan is fully confident the Steelmen will make it through to the third round of Conference League qualifying after their first leg victory against HB on Thursday.

In Alfred Johansson's first competitive game as manager, Motherwell won 2-0 at Fir Park thanks to goals from Martin Moormann and Lukas Fadinger.

HB Torshavn are currently fifth in the Faroese top flight after 16 games, having finished second last season to secure their Conference League place.

"I'm going to put my neck out and say I think they will go through," Sheridan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"You can't go away to the Faroe Islands and lose a two-goal lead. Plus this is the Conference League, it's not the champions of the Faroe Islands, it's their team that finished in the Conference League positions.

"I'm willing to have egg on my face at the end of this, but no, they're not going to give up this lead."
