Shamrock Rovers II form and stats

1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the First Division numbers at home for Shamrock Rovers II so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Shamrock to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Shamrock, their manager A. Price and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Shamrock faced defeat in their previous match, away at Galway United (1-2). Preceding that match was a defeat to Cobh Ramblers (0-1).

Heartbreak for Shamrock Rovers II in their last match as Galway United's K. Farragher scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cobh Ramblers are coming to town in one day.

Shamrock Rovers II are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. 6 goals have been conceded.
