Shamrock Rovers form and stats

Shamrock Rovers are steadily winning Premier Division games and points here at Tallaght Stadium. 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 15 games. Shamrock has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Tallaght Stadium. We remember; it was Drogheda United.

Shamrock's last game was hosting Sligo Rovers (placed 3rd) and winning 2-0.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Dundalk.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Shamrock have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

A decent goal production from Shamrock in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 15 league matches. Shamrock Rovers have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Bohemians form and stats

There were no winners in Bohemians's previous match, a Premier Division home game that ended 1-1 vs Dundalk (placed 7th).

A new game in only four days for Bohemians, the FAI Cup home match versus Waterford United. Busy days.
