We head to Tallaght Stadium on Friday evening when Shamrock Rovers will be taking on Shelbourne in the Premier Division. The Hoops beat this opponent 3-2 in this fixture last season, and we’re going for them to come out on top in this one as well, as our main prediction.
Shamrock Rovers are the out-and-out favourites to defend their league title this season, as they enter Matchday 28 at the top of the standings and seven points clear of St Patrick's Athletic in second.
The Hoops have had a disappointing week leading up to this match, though, bowing out of the FAI Cup last weekend, just three days after being eliminated from the Europa League qualifiers by Egnatia.
However, the hosts have been exceptional at home this term, currently on a seven-match win streak across all competitions, while having only lost one of their 13 league games here to date.
Meanwhile, after finishing third in the top flight last season, Shelbourne have taken a step backwards this term, currently down in fifth place and 13 points behind the top two teams.
The Reds’ Conference League qualification hopes were ended by Ajax 5-3 on aggregate last week, and they are now winless in their last five matches across all competitions (D1 L4).
The visitors are also winless in their last seven away matches (D3 L4) and conceded two or more goals in five matches during this period.
