The last six meetings between these two have gone under 2.5 goals
11 of the combined last 13 games of these two have also produced fewer than three goals
Three of Shamrock Rovers’ last four games have finished 2-0
Goals hard to come by
Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk are the only two teams to win the League of Ireland since 2018 but they are both having disappointing campaigns this time around. Rovers have finished top of the pile in the last four seasons but are now 12 points behind pace setters Shelbourne after losing four of their last six games.
Stephen Bradley’s men have a Champions League qualifier against Vikingur Reykjavik looming so will want to head into that clash in good form. They face a Dundalk side that are marooned at the wrong end of the table, just three points ahead of bottom side Drogheda after losing 11 of their 22 games this term.
Goals have been a major issue for the Lilywhites, who have netted just 13 times in 22 outings, and this could be a low-scoring affair as a result. The last six meetings between these two teams have gone under 2.5 goals and with the visitors struggling in front of goal, another cagey clash is fancied.
Rovers could sneak crucial win
Despite their poor recent run, hosting fellow strugglers Dundalk could be just the ticket for Shamrock Rovers to get their campaign back on a good stead. Correct score backers should side with a 2-0 win for the home team.
Predictions:Under 2.5 Match Goals Shamrock Rovers 2-0
