The Irish Premier Division is finally underway, and Round 2 is treating us to a fierce game between champions Shamrock Rovers and last year's third-place Shelbourne Dublin. The Hoobs and Shells both won a game last season in each other's home. Could that be the case here early on? Check out our match prediction below!
Shelbourne is already off to a rocky start after drawing its first game of the season away to Waterford as the favourites. Shels were absolutely dominant in that game, holding 67% of the possession and taking 24 shots at goal compared to Waterford’s six attempts.
Still, Shelbourne lacked the clinical efficiency to finish off a Waterford side that only remained in the league after winning last season’s relegation playoffs. That lack of efficiency might just come to bite them when they host the reigning champions.
Unlike Shelbourne, this will be Shamrock’s first league game, and The Hoops will be looking to start their title defence on a strong foot. They have all the tools in the shed to do so, but as history shows, Shelbourne is the one team that Shamrock has found incredibly difficult to beat. In fact, over their last 12 meetings, the Rovers have only won three games.
