Match description
Shamrock Rovers appear to be the favorites; this season they have 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss compared to Derry City’s 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and in the last 5 matches the visitors average 2.0 points per game versus 1.2 for the home side. Shamrock’s defense is more stable — away they concede 1.00 goal on average and have 50% clean sheets, while Derry at home concede 1.67 goals and have yet to record a clean sheet (0%). On the other hand Derry generate more high-quality chances: at home they have average xG 2.04, 16.67 shots and 6.83 on target per game, which translates to 1.83 goals per game and 11% shot efficiency, versus Shamrock away with xG 1.46, 12.83 shots, 4.0 on target and 1.33 goals (10% efficiency). Given the better points form, greater number of wins (7 vs 3) and the visitors’ defensive edge, I forecast a Shamrock win, although Derry’s high xG and number of shots on target suggest the match could be close.
