Match Preview

The Irish Premier Division is not the easiest league to make predictions for, but Shamrock Rovers could be an exception. Shamrock Rovers are very good at home with six wins in nine matches, and managed to beat strong sides like Dundalk and Bray Wanderers. At the same time, they are poor in away fixtures, and that is why Shamrock Rovers are only fifth in the table, as we can show in our Shamrock Rovers vs St Patrick's Atheltic preview.

St Patrick's Atheltic are very disappointing this season, currently bottom of the table with just 14 points after losing their last two fixtures. They have naturally beaten Shamrock Rovers at home, 2-1 in March, but the return visit should be a different story entirely. The hosts are clear favourites, and that is the core of our Shamrock Rovers vs St Patrick's Atheltic predictions.
