Shamrock Rovers are third in the Irish Premier Division. That's despite having played only two of their seven league games this season at home. On Friday, Rovers are home to eighth-placed Waterford. Here's our match prediction.
After seven games of the new season, Shamrock Rovers are four points behind the leaders Drogheda United but with a game in hand. They started the season slowly but are now unbeaten in their last four league fixtures.
Home form has seen them win one and draw the other of their league games. They have only scored one goal but are yet to concede on home soil. Just one of their last ten home league matches has been lost.
Waterford United are only a place and two points above the relegation zone. Three of their eight league matches this season have been won but the other five all ended in defeat. Their last five matches have all ended in defeat, most recently a 2-0 loss at Drogheda.
Their last two league fixtures have seen them fail to score a goal. That's happened in four of their last five matches. They have only scored eight league goals this season but conceded 13.
We tip Shamrock Rovers to win and lead at half and full time.
