Shamrock Rovers have the chance to stretch away in the League of Ireland Premier Division when they travel to Derry City. The two sides occupying the top two slots face off on Friday in a round 17 encounter. We have a prediction for the match below.
Last time out, Derry City scored in stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw at Drogheda United. With that, they kept their unbeaten run going for a fourth game.
The Candystripes had, before that, won three straight matches, and they go into this game trailing Shamrock Rovers by five points. They have a game in hand against the league leaders and will feel this is a good chance to slash the lead.
Shamrock Rovers narrowly missed the title last year and will be hoping to avoid another late rush. They come here unbeaten in eight matches against Derry City, winning four of those.
The visitors thrashed St. Patrick’s Athletic 4-0 in their last outing. That was their fourth straight win and a third clean sheet in that run. It is still a long way to go, but Stephen Bradley’s men will have the belief they can do it.
This is strengthened by the fact they enter this encounter unbeaten in the last five away games. Also, the Hoops haven't tasted defeat in this fixture since March 2023.
