📏 Form Guide

Shamrock Rovers

WWWDWW 📈

Shamrock Rovers, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-1 Premier Division victory versus Sligo Rovers.

The only player to score from Shamrock Rovers was Graham Burke (54', 56', 69'). Aidan Keena (82') scored for Sligo Rovers.

Shamrock Rovers have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 games.

They’ve claimed a sum of 12 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 4. With no two games being the same, time will tell if that trend shall be maintained in this next game.

Coming into this fixture, Shamrock Rovers are unbeaten in their last 19 home league matches. What a fantastic run.

Derry City

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins to be concerned about. Michael Duffy (Tibia Fracture) won’t be in action.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Shamrock Rovers have it within them to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Derry City will be up against it to get a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once here.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Shamrock Rovers when the full-time whistle blows.
