The visiting Shamrock Rovers side should be favourites in this visit to Finn Harps, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier Division. This match was also played here at Finn Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Shamrock Rovers have had more rest.
