Shamrock Rovers v Drogheda prediction

DroghedaLLWWL

What to expect

We expect about 1.7 goals from Shamrock Rovers and 0.8 from Drogheda, so Shamrock Rovers come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Shamrock Rovers to win. Shamrock Rovers are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-0.9), and we make them about 60% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 58 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.40, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
