Both teams scored the last time these two met, a 3-1 Derry win, and both are scoring freely now. Shamrock Rovers have found the net nine times in their last five games, while Derry hit four past Waterford at the Brandywell. They meet again in the Airtricity League on Sunday, and our Derry City vs Shamrock Rovers match prediction is BTTS.
The Hoops carry the bigger threat, unbeaten in five and scoring in bunches. Both teams have scored in four of Rovers' last five games, and 56% of their matches this season have landed BTTS. On the road, they concede too, shipping close to a goal a game away.
The Candystripes are dangerous at home, with Michael Duffy in fine scoring form. Derry conceded first in each of their opening home games this season, so goals at both ends are a regular feature at the Brandywell. Against Rovers, they have found the net in their recent home meetings.
For us, two attacking sides point to goals at each end. The Hoops score in most of their games, and the Candystripes hit hard at home. We expect both to find the net at the Brandywell.
