ℹ️ Team News: Shamrock Rovers
Rory Gaffney (unknown injury) and Daniel Mandroiu (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be taking part for Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley. Dan Cleary is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
In our view, The Hoops should kick off with a 3-5-2 formation for the game with Edward McGinty, Lee Grace, Enda Stevens, Tunmise Sobowale, Adam Brennan, Matthew Healy, Dylan Watts, Jake Mulraney, Jack Byrne, Graham Burke and Aaron Greene.
🗞️ Team News: Derry City
From our viewpoint, The Candystripes will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Eddie Beach, James Olayinka, Conor Barr, Patrick McClean, Brandon Fleming, Adam O'Reilly, Cameron Dummigan, Kevin Santos, Darragh Markey, Michael Duffy and James Clarke.
💡 Prediction
We’re of the view that Derry City are dangerous enough to break down this Shamrock Rovers team, but that possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Shamrock Rovers when all is said and done. Hopefully this is a good one.
