Shamrock Rovers are still very much in the title race as they are only 2-points behind league leaders Shelbourne. A win in this game for Shamrock and a corresponding loss for Shelbourne will make Shamrock Rovers champions again.

They have now secured a win and a draw in their Europa Conference league campaign with a 1-4 win over Larne last week.  

They are currently 2nd placed in the league with 16 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses from the 35 league games played this season. Johnny Kenny leads the team on goals with a total of 12 goals scored in the league this season.

Waterford is without a win in their last 5 league games but they somehow managed to secure a draw against Bohemians in their last league game. They had a fair run in the league this season and we will be seeing them again next season. Their overall league statistics are 13 victories, 5 draws, and 16 losses from a total of 35 games played and Padraig Amond leads the team's efforts on goal with 13 goals scored in the league this season. 

A critical look at the last 20 encounters between them produced 15 wins for Shamrock Rovers, 4 wins for Waterford, and a draw. 

Waterford have not secured a win in their last 5 league games and with the league coming to an end, they’ve already secured their place in the league next season and escaped relegation. Shamrock on the other hand has something to play for as a win here could potentially give them the title. We believe Shamrock Rovers will go all out for it and we envisage a win or draw and a total of over 1.5 goals for Shamrock. Please see some of their head-to-head stats below;

• More than 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 league games
• Both teams have scored in 5 of their last 6 meetings
