How are both teams coming into this?
Shamrock Rovers enter the game buoyed by a strong home record at the Tallaght Stadium, where they’ve shown clinical finishing and solid defensive organisation. Their consistency in recent weeks has kept them in contention for the top spots, and confidence among players and fans is high.
St Patrick’s Athletic, on the other hand, have experienced mixed results on the road. While they’ve displayed resilience and a willingness to press high up the pitch, occasional lapses at the back have cost them valuable points. They will need to find a sharper cutting edge in attack to challenge the hosts.
Our forecast
We expect Shamrock Rovers to control possession and dictate the tempo early on, using their home advantage to create scoring opportunities. St Patrick’s Athletic may absorb pressure and look to hit on the break, but they’ll have to be wary of defensive errors.
Predicted outcome: a narrow home victory for Shamrock Rovers, with a final scoreline of 2-1.
