St Patrick's Athletic v Shamrock Rovers : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 18th Apr, 19:45 BST, Richmond Park, Dublin

Home advantage is often beneficial in the Premier Division, and Stephen Kenny’s St Patrick's Athletic will have the joy of it on Friday evening. Stephen Bradley’s Shamrock Rovers are their opponents at the Richmond Park. We've got predictions, tips, and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers and head-to-head stats across every market, so there really is only one place to get ready for this Premier Division clash.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Stephen Kenny and Stephen Bradley to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a glut of goals as St Patrick's and Shamrock go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.48 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we're recommending.
