Shamrock Rovers take on the visitors UC Dublin in the round 20 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 9th at Tallaght Stadium (Dublin).
Shamrock Rovers are leading the table ahead of the upcoming round, and their defense of the championship title has been fairly solid so far. Yes, the team has faced some difficulties recently, including two consecutive defeats. However, the upcoming match is not an ordinary one as they will be hosting the bottom-placed team, which has been the league's ultimate underdog this season. Shamrock Rovers are the undisputed favorites for this match, and bookmakers predict a big victory for the hosts. This prediction seems reasonable since scoring three goals per match is not a major challenge for Shamrock Rovers' attack, even against tougher opponents in the Irish league, let alone against an ordinary underperforming team. The teams have already met twice this season, with Shamrock Rovers winning both matches by a scoreline of 3-0. It is highly likely that a similar outcome will occur in this match.

In the previous season, Dublin managed to retain their position only through playoff matches. However, this time the team cannot boast about that since they are currently rooted to the bottom and have no chance of climbing up. With only 6 points after 19 matches, they are significantly behind the team above them, Drogheda, who have already accumulated 20 points. The gap is enormous and cannot be closed. Dublin is fulfilling the role of a typical underdog this season, with a dreadful goal difference of 11:45 and just one victory in 19 matches. Therefore, it is safe to say that the guests have little to offer except another complete fiasco. Shamrock Rovers have already defeated them twice this season with a 3-0 scoreline, and a similar outcome is likely to happen again.
The odds for the hosts in this match are ridiculously low. Even if a handicap is considered in favor of the hosts, it does not significantly change the odds. Hence, it might be worth considering a bet on the total goals scored by the hosts. Shamrock Rovers' attack is potent by Irish championship standards, and they are capable of scoring 3-4 goals against the underdog at the very least. My bet for this match is Over 3 goals for Shamrock Rovers.
Prediction for the match: Shamrock Rovers to score over 3.0 goals.
