📋 Team News: Shamrock Rovers
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Daniel Mandroiu (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.
ℹ️ Team News: Shelbourne
Shelbourne manager Damien Duff has to choose a team with limited availability. Daniel Kelly (unknown injury), Tyreke Wilson (unknown injury) and Paddy Barrett (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered.
🧠 Prediction
In our opinion, Shamrock Rovers will, in all likelihood, be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the same time, Shelbourne will be up against it to score a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
We’re predicting a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Shamrock Rovers at the end of the 90 minutes.
