Mondays late kick off in the Irish Premier Division sees and intriguing clash between defending champions Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda. Both have got off to surprising starts this season, Shamrock after their two games have won and lost one, losing last time out to Derry. Drogheda’s first match of the season was postponed due to adverse weather but their season started poorly following a 2-0 defeat to league newcomers Shelbourne.

Asian Handicap

As you would expect between a match between the defending league champions and perennial strugglers Drogheda, Shamrock Rovers are heavy favourites for the match, so much so that they are unbackable at their current price. When trying to find some value in the match it could be worth backing Drogheda in an Asian handicap at +1.5. In the four meetings last year Shamrock won three of the four matches but the three victories only ever came by a margin of 1 goal. This could be another tight match and backing Drogheda to not lose by two or more goals seems a sensible way to play.

Shamrock to score over 2.5 goals

Shamrock have scored at least one goal in the last five meetings between the sides and against a Drogheda side who last season were poor defensively and had one of the worst away records in the league, the home side will be hoping they can keep their scoring streak continuing here. Shamrock last season were amongst the leagues highest scorers and at home they will be wanting to bounce back from their previous defeat. At odds of 7/4 to score over 2.5 goals this could be one of the better value plays in the match.

Shamrock to win both halves

Looking at the head to head it’s hard to make a case for Drogheda. Drogheda are without a win in five matches and have only scored two goals in the last five contests between the pair. In a match where value is hard to find, it could be worth backing Shamrock to win both halves. This is a contest where Shamrock should have the majority of the ball and create numerous chances we think backing them to win both halves could be a good bet considering the value provided.
