Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda United Predictions

• Shamrock Rovers’ last three home league games have all gone under 2.5 match goals
• Shamrock Rovers have dropped two points at home all season
• Drogheda have failed to win any of their last six away league matches

Midweek excursion may have an effect of the hosts

Shamrock Rovers are expected to take all the beating on Saturday but their midweek trip to Bulgaria may have taken something out of Stephen Bradley’s side. Rovers were beaten 3-0 in the first leg of their Second Qualifying Round Champions League tie on Tuesday, and they may not be fully fired up come Saturday lunchtime. Shamrock Rovers have dropped two points at home all season and should have enough in reserve to overcome struggling Drogheda in what could be a low scoring affair – Shamrock Rovers’ last three home league games have all gone under 2.5 match goals.

Drogheda struggle on their travels  

Drogheda have failed to win any of their last six away matches, taking just two points in the process, and things don’t get any easier for Kevin Doherty’s side as they travel to the league leaders on Saturday. Saturday’s visitors last won on this ground in 2014 and given their recent form on the road, their long wait between drinks may last a little longer.

Shamrock Rovers to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Saturday’s game at Tallaght Stadium. Shamrock’s last three home league games have all gone under 2.5 match goals, and whilst they are expected to win on Saturday, their midweek excursions may have some impact on the score line. The correct score prediction for this one will be for it to finish 2-0 to the home side.
