Dundalk vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Shamrock have won the last three meetings between these two sides, scoring nine goals without reply.
• Shamrock have four wins in their last five games, drawing the other.
• Rory Gaffney has three goals and an assist in his last four games.

Leaders Shamrock head to Dundalk

Shamrock hold a seven-point lead at the top of Ireland’s Premier Division and will be looking to at least maintain their advantage when they head to Dundalk on Friday.

The hosts have been in good form themselves and a top three finish is a realistic target – but they have struggled against Shamrock recently and could be in line for a difficult evening.

Rovers well placed to claim spoils

This will be the third meeting between these sides this term and Shamrock won both previous fixtures, with an aggregate score of 6-0.

Rovers have won each of the last three clashes between these two sides and Dundalk have failed to score in all of those games.

The visitors head to Oriel Park in fine fettle with four wins and a draw in their last five games and they can come away with maximum points.

Shamrock’s last four wins have all been accompanied by clean sheets and they can record another shut-out against Dundalk, who have scored just one goal across the last six meetings.

A 3-0 win for the visitors therefore looks a reasonable correct score prediction, and Rory Gaffney appeals as a potential anytime scorer as he has three goals and an assist in his last four games for Shamrock.
