League leaders Shamrock Rovers are heading to Galway United for their next Airtricity Premier Division encounter this Sunday. This will be their round 27 match, coming with the chance to open a 13-point buffer.Read on for our prediction for the match.

Hosts Galway are in danger of dropping into the relegation region with a loss here. Ahead of this game there are three points separating Galway from the bottom two.

Meanwhile, no team has done as poorly as Galway in the last run of four matches. They are on four straight defeats and haven't won any of their last six league games. Also, in 36 meetings with Shamrock, Galway are winless.

Shamrock Rovers last lost this fixture in 2006. They aren’t looking likely to drop points here even though they will be playing away from home.

In the last two meetings with Galway, the league leaders posted clean sheets, which has also been the case in their last five matches. Shamrock stretched their leadership of the league with a 2-0 win against Derry City, their closest challengers, and with that they opened a 10-point gap.

However, after that they had the disruption of the Conference League, where they are coming from a 1-0 away loss to Balkani in the qualifiers. In 15 league matches, Shamrock suffered just one defeat.
