• Shelbourne have lost three of their last four
• The visitors have won five of their last six league games, scoring 14 times and conceding just twice

Rovers can return to form

Shamrock Rovers accelerated their title hopes last month, putting together a five-game winning run to help them ease six points clear at the top of the standings. They head to champions Shelbourne this week aiming to hammer home their title credentials.

The hosts have seen their hopes of retaining the title fall apart, as they won just two of their seven games in May, losing on three occasions. Shelbourne have fallen nine points off the pace, while they head into this clash having failed to win any of their five matches against the top two.

Rovers have won back-to-back away games, helping them to the best away record in the division. The visitors are dominating in all aspects at the moment, leading the league in terms of goals scored and fewest goals conceded.

The league leaders have won 10 of their last 16 matches, so back them to prove too strong for the out-of-sorts hosts.
