Shamrock Rovers FC vs Galway United FC Prediction: Galway is a tough team to play against

In the 29th round of the League of Ireland Premiership, Shamrock Rovers will continue their plight for a top-3 finish this season as they prepare to take on Galway United on Sunday at the Tallaght Stadium. Shamrock Rovers were held down to a draw in their most recent league game against Drogheda United while Galway United also drew to St Patrick’s Athletics. Shamrock has their attention on the upcoming return leg of the Europa League qualifiers against Paok and manager Stephen Bradley could rest some players. The match result could go either way. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Shamrock Rovers FC (5th)

Form in the League: DWWLL

Shamrock Rovers couldn’t defeat bottom-feeders Drogheda United in their most recent league game. Darragh Burns got the opening goal for Shamrock in the 6th minute of the game but Drogheda pulled one back in the 74th and the game ultimately ended in a draw. They have now won two games, with a draw and two losses in their last five league games.

Shamrock continues to fight for a place in Europe next season as they have a Uefa Europa League qualifiers return leg game against Paok later this next week. Paok won the first leg encounter with a 4-0 scoreline and it might be hard for Shamrock to pull 4 back on Paok but we are in for it. They are currently 5th placed in the league with 10 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses from the 25 league games played this season. Johnny Kenny leads the team on goals with a total of 10 goals scored in the league this season.
