Shamrock Rovers vs Dundalk Betting Tips: Shamrock Rovers to win

Shamrock had not successive league matches since May 2021, and they now find themselves second in the division, a point behind new leaders Derry City.

Losing their last home game against Drogheda, the hosts will surely see this fixture as a must-win, and their form at home had been strong prior to that surprise defeat. Winning four and drawing one of their last five, Shamrock remains a force at Tallaght Stadium, despite that recent setback.

Currently fifth of ten sides in the Premier League, Dundalk arrives in Dublin currently seven points behind the home side, having also endured a poor run of form which has seen them take just one point from their last three league outings.

On their travels, Dundalk have lost both of their last two league games, while they have won only three of nine this season (W3, L4, D2). Inconsistent on the road, the visitors' record against Shamrock at this venue is also poor, with the home side emerging victorious in each of their last four meetings in Dublin since 2021.

Considering Shamrock´s superior quality, their strong record at home both in recent weeks and in this fixture suggests we should expect the hosts to claim the points with Dundalk on a down-turn in recent away league outings.

Shamrock have struggled for clean sheets, with only two in their previous nine on home soil, suggesting we may see goals at both ends, yet our preference remains in backing the Hoops to claim the spoils in what should prove a decent contest at Tallaght Stadium.
