Shamrock Rovers v Derry City – Saturday, 5pm

Punters can bet on Shamrock Rovers v Derry City with William Hill

• Shamrock Rovers picked up their twenty-second domestic title back in November and then followed it up with a FAI Cup victory against Cork City, three points were the difference between the Hoops and Derry City in their title victory.
• Stephen Bradley’s side bowed out of their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign back in December with a 3-1 victory over Hamrun, not only was that Rovers’ only win of their campaign, it also remains their last competitive fixture.
• The Hoops have a solid record against Derry City, they’ve lost just one of their last eleven meetings between these two sides, with victories in six of those but they’ll be conscious of the fact they lost the last meeting 2-1 back in October.
  ——————————–————————
• Derry City were hoping to secure just their third domestic title back in November and their first since 1997 but having finished three points behind Rovers, they had to settle for second for an eighth time.
• The Candystripes didn’t have the luxury of European football and therefore played their last competitive game back in November, they’ll be looking to kickstart their new campaign by picking up their second President of Ireland’s Cup.
• Derry City have won just one of their fifteen trips to the Tallaght Stadium, whilst just one of the last eight meetings here have seen more than two goals, with four of the eight finishing with the same scoreline of 1-0.

Prediction: Shamrock Rovers To Win & Under 2.5 goals, Shamrock Rovers 1-0 Derry City.
