Form in the league: LLDWD

Dundalk has faced a challenging start to the season, as they have secured only a win from the 15 games played so far in the league. They have lost two, drawn two, and one just one game in their last five league games. Their most recent league game against Waterford ended in a disappointing 4-1 defeat and they’ll most likely be edging towards another defeat as they prepare to take on Shamrock Rovers on Friday. Their overall league statistics are a victory, 5 draws, and 6 losses from 12 league games played. 

Form: DLDWD

In a surprising turn of events, Shamrock Rovers is winless in their last three league games and their stats in their last five league games are a win, three draws, and a loss. Their most recent league game against St Patrick’s Athletics ended in a 2-2 draw. 

They are currently third placed in the league with just three points behind current league leaders Shelbourne. With seven wins, six draws, and three losses from the 16 league games played this season, Shamrock will be aiming at regaining their rightful spot at the top of the league. 

The last 12 clashes between them produced 8 wins for Shamrock, 5 for Dundalk, and two draws.

Both teams are currently in bad shape but we still believe in Shamrock’s ability to secure a win here. Dundalk is in really bad shape as they’ve only won a game in their 15 games played this season. Our prediction here is a win or draw for Shamrock Rovers. They’ve met just once this season and the game ended in a 1-1 draw and we can also expect a similar result here.
