Shamrock Rovers FC vs Galway United FC Prediction: A tough one for Shamrock

The upcoming match at the Tallaght Stadium between Shamrock Rovers and Galway United is most likely going to be a tough encounter as Galway United is a tough team to play against and they will not go down without a fight. Galway United is yet to lose a league game in their last three league games while Shamrock is also in great form in the league. Just like the first leg encounter, we expect a tough encounter. Our prediction for this game leans towards a win or draw for Shamrock as they have the home advantage and they appear to be the stronger team.

Shamrock Rovers FC (2nd)

Form: DWWLW

Shamrock Rovers continue to show that they are League of Ireland's defending champions as they’ve regained their confidence and are back in the top three race in the League. Their last five league games produced 3 victories, a draw, and a loss with their most recent league game against Shelbourne ending in a 1-1 draw. 

With five wins, four draws, and two losses from the 11 league games played this season, Shamrock will be aiming at regaining their rightful spot at the top of the league and Galway United might just be another of their victims. 

Galway United FC (5th)

Form: DWDLW

Newly promoted Galway United continues to show strong performances in the league this season, exceeding our expectations. They have only suffered a loss in their last five league games with two wins, 2 draws, and a loss from their last five league games. They held Sligo Rovers to a goalless draw in their last league game and they’ll be hoping for more of the same piece as they take on the defending champions at the Tallaght on Friday. Their overall league statistics are 5 victories, 4 draws, and two losses from 11 games played.
