Derry City has been displaced from the top of the league table after their sad defeat to Galway United late last month. Derry City played their soul out in that game as they fully dominated the game but they were rather unlucky as Galway got a goal in the 76th minute and that was all for the game. They are now second-placed in the league with only a win from their last 5 league games. 

Parick Hoban remains the man for Derry City this season with 12 goals. Their overall league statistics are impressive with 13 victories, 6 losses, and 10 draws from 28 games played.

Shamrock Rovers have now secured two consecutive league victories in their last two league games and it’s impressive that they’ve only lost a game from their last 5 league games. Their most recent league game against Galway United ended in a 1-2 win. 

They are currently 3rd placed in the league with 12 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses from the 29 league games played this season. Johnny Kenny leads the team on goals with a total of 12 goals scored in the league this season.

A critical look at the last 20 games between them produced 4 wins for Derry City, 12 wins for Shamrock Rovers, and 4 draws. We see clearly that the game between them is usually a very tough encounter.

The teams have met thrice this season with Shamrock winning two games and a draw in one. Shamrock appears to be in better form when compared to Derry but Derry is a tough team to play against. We believe both teams will find the net here and we can leverage on both teams finding the net. 

In terms of game results, we believe that Shamrock will not lose as they’ve not lost to Derry in their last 6 games and we believe they’ll extend that record. A win or draw and a total of over 1.5 goals here is a good bet. Please see the team head-to-head streak below;

• Shamrock has not lost to Derry in their last 6 games
• Derry City has been without a clean sheet in their last 7 meetings
