In our opinion, Derry City would be disappointed if they were not to put a goal past this Shamrock Rovers team, but it possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Shamrock Rovers at the end of the match. Expecting it to be very competitive.
