Shamrock Rovers vs Vikingur Reykjavik Predictions

• Shamrock Rovers have failed to win any of their last 12 European games
• Three of Vikingur Reykjavik’s last ten games have finished 1-1
• Seven of Rovers’ last eight matches have gone under 2.5 goals

Rovers short price to win

Shamrock Rovers put in a battling performance to take a 0-0 draw from their away Champions League qualifier against Vikingur Reykjavik.

The visitors played the last ten minutes with ten men but will need to improve again to beat their Icelandic opponents on home soil.

Rovers have failed to win any of their last 12 European games, losing nine of those.

They will be buoyed by the away team’s record on the road, they have lost three of their last four continental clashes on their travels.

However Vikingur have produced some solid results in recent years, beating Riga and Lech Poznan.

Stalemate a runner

Rovers are a short price to win this tie but have only been victorious in three of their last 11 in all competitions and this could be a nail-biter.

The hosts have struggled to make an impact in the league after winning the League of Ireland title in the last three seasons and look short enough to win this one in 90 minutes. 

Another draw looks overpriced with extra-time a real possibility.

Three of Vikingur’s last ten games have finished normal time at 1-1 and that is the correct score selection here.
