Shamrock Rovers are third in the Irish Premier Division but have gone two games without a win. They look to get back in winning ways when hosting Shelbourne on Friday evening. Can the Hoops get a home victory? Read our match prediction.
Rovers are only two points behind league leaders Drogheda United. They have won five of their 11 league games this season and are the joint highest goalscorers. Their most recent league fixture saw them lose 3-2 at home to Bohemians despite leading 2-0.
A 96th minute goal condemned them to defeat. That loss followed a 2-2 draw at St Patrick's. They led in that game too but conceded a 91st minute equalizer. Both teams have scored in each of their last three league games.
Shelbourne are only behind their opponents on goal difference. They are unbeaten in their last five league games with three of the last four ending in a draw. Monday saw the Reds draw 2-2 at home to Galway, twice leading in the match.
That was their second successive 2-2 draw but they had to come from behind twice to get a point at leaders Drogheda United. Three of their last four away league fixtures have seen both teams score. We go for that stat to come up again on Friday.
