Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda Prediction & Betting Tips (1 March)

In general, a visit from Drogheda has proven to be very beneficial in recent times, with 17 of the last 20 teams to entertain them claiming maximum points. Add to that the fact that Shamrock Rovers have enjoyed 15 wins in 20 home games at this level of late, and it is hard to see anything other than a home success in this meeting between high-fliers and strugglers.

When Drogheda come calling in the Premier Division, over 2.5 goals tends to be the order of the day, with this being the case in 17 of the Drogheda outfit’s previous 20 away games. Not only that, but 19 of the last 20 Shamrock Rovers home matches at the top table of Spanish football have also delivered a minimum of two successful strikes, so this pattern should continue.

Over the course of their previous 18 matches at this elite level of the Premier Division, Shamrock Rovers have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet. This has also been the case in 16 of the last 19 Drogheda away games in the top-flight, so don’t expect the net to bulge at both ends in this encounter.
