Bohemians will look to book their spot in the third round of Conference League qualifying when they take on Ballkani on Thursday night.
The League of Ireland Premier Division side will make the trip to Kosovo with a 2-1 advantage after they battled hard at Dalymount Park last week.
Ballkani actually claimed the lead through midfielder Toni Domgjoni, who scored from the spot, but the hosts found a way to win the match.
Douglas James-Taylor levelled matters in the second half, before turning provider for Ross Tierney in Dublin.
With Ballkani's usual home not meeting UEFA standards, Thursday's tie will be played at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri and the neutral venue should only aid Bohemians in their quest to advance.

Ballkani v Bohemians Prediction
Best Bet: Bohemians to win @ 17/10
An away trip to Kosovo will never be welcomed, as teams always find it hard to play their natural game against the passionate home support.
Ballkani's usual home, Theranda City Stadium, does not meet competition requirements, forcing them to play one hour away at the national stadium.
They have immediately lost an advantage over Bohemians and nothing about their recent form suggests they can push the Irish outfit all the way in this Conference League encounter.
Ballkani have lost nine of their last 15 games in all competitions and they should also be lacking in match fitness. Their domestic season has yet to resume, while Bohs have already played 25 of their league matches, winning 12 of those.
Alan Reynolds' team are unbeaten in six games, and they have kept five clean sheets during this time, so they look good value for an away win this week.
Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 4/5
After losing the first leg, Ballkani have no choice but to go out and attack on Thursday. They have already proven they can score past Bohemians, albeit from the penalty spot, but they registered eight shots on goal away from home.
Bohemians have scored two or more goals in five of their last six matches and they should be able to score multiple goals past a Ballkani defence that has conceded two or more goals in four of their previous five outings.
Ballkani v Bohemians Bet Builder Tip
Most goals in second half
HT/FT - Draw/Bohemians
Pays @ 7/1
Bohemians are likely to travel to Kosovo with a defensive mindset as they have a lead to protect.
They will hope to absorb pressure and punish Ballkani on the counter-attack and the fact they should be fitter and sharper means that they should eventually take control of this game in the second half.
Naturally, that should mean that more goals are scored in the second half. The same bet would have landed in last week's first leg and a similar pattern should occur in this second leg.
Bohemians do not have to chase the game and will look to protect their advantage. Once Ballkani's players start to fatigue, that is when the space should open up and more goals should flow as a result.
