A less-than-expected hint at a generous share can be speculated in the 8th round of Ireland’s first league. Shamrock Rovers meets UC Dublin on Friday evening at 20:00, as hosts are in impeccable form and have 8-0 in the last four stages. UC Dublin is one of the weakest teams in the league.
Shamrock Rovers has won the last five duels disputed against UC Dublin without any problems, but the last meeting was held in 2017. Still, the white-green can still boast with 4-1, 3-0, 2-0, 2 -0 and 4-1 in front of a modest rival, no tradition in the first echelon. The difference in value between the two camps is also evident before the Friday match, in which Shamrock has a small share of victory and a good chance of imposing a handicap.
After finishing with Finn Harps (1-0 and 3-0), Sligo Rovers (3-0), St. Patrick’s (1-0), Shamrock Rovers has a good home team, where he practices an offensive football, especially against relegation bands. UC Dublin defeated Finn Harps last round (3-0), but he has a modest turnaround, where he has scored failures with Sligo Rovers (0-1), Dundalk (1-2) or Derry City (0-3) ). The ranking speaks for itself about the Friday match.
Shamrock has six wins and a single defeat in the first 8 stages, being ranked No. 1 (go-go 12-2). With the best defense in Ireland, the white-green is due to take the penultimate place, the ninth, and UC Dublin has only one victory this season (goal 5-9). Even if we were expecting a clear success for the hosts, the goal-free series must end at some point, and Shamrock usually snap out the parties. If the favorite will open the score quickly, our bet has a good chance of success!
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,87
