Derry City vs Shamrock Rovers: Top Free Betting Tips

We have the two strongest teams in Ireland in a final far before the actual trophy game and this match could easily determine the next cup winner. Here are our predictions.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Games between Shamrock Rovers and Derry City are often close and especially in the last couple of years since Derry became this good once again. We think that the two teams will give their best given the circumstances and we should see a BTTS in this game, unlike the last two games between them from the last month and from May. Derry are in their best form in years and we think that they will score despite Shamrock's incredible defense.

Match Result – Draw

This is a quarter final but it is between the two favorites in the tournament and we believe that there is a good chance for a draw here. Shamrock Rovers haver a lot more games this season and while they are the stronger team, they have to maneuver between the Premier Division, the Cup, and the Europa League. With another EL game on Thursday, we think that Shamrock will not be in perfect shape and will not win this match that easily.

Under 2.5 Goals

We think that the most possible result in this match is the 1:1 draw. The teams had one draw in August already but it was a 0:0. Derry were the hosts then too and generally played much better than Shamrock but we know how good the defense of the visitors is. We expect another difficult game for both teams that will definitely not have a lot of goals and if there are, we expect a 1:1 at best.

Derry City vs Shamrock Rovers: Team News and Match Preview

Derry City Preview

Derry City have become one of Ireland's best teams over the last few years and this season in particular, are a real rival to Shamrock Rovers. These are the two teams in the championship race in the Premier Division although we have no doubts that Shamrock will win it once again. Nevertheless, Derry City are the highest-scoring team in the league right now and have one of the best defenses. Their record against Shamrock is terrible, however.

Shamrock Rovers Preview

Shamrock Rovers became champions for a second year in a row and they are moving confidently towards a third title in a row. The team benefits from the struggles of teams like Dundalk and other typical contenders. In each case, Shamrock Rovers have an unbelievable defense, which is the main reason behind their success over the past couple of years. Shamrock Rovers won 7 out of the last 10 games against Derry City.
