The forward is taking on average 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in the League of Ireland this season and is averaging a goal every 190 minutes.

Correct score prediction: 4-0 to Shamrock Rovers

For our third and final prediction, we hear at Football Ground Guide are going with a comfortable 4-0 victory for the current League of Ireland leaders. No team has scored more goals than Shamrock Rovers' tally of 55 this season whilst no team has conceded more goals than UCD have with 78 shipped in 30 games so far. Shamrock Rovers sit top of the league but not by the points margin they wish they had over second place Derry City so they will be on the lookout for a convincing victory to tell Derry City that they will become League of Ireland champions once again.
