Game Prediction

Our prediction for Shelbourne vs Shamrock Rovers
The "Tolka Park" club fought hard for the top spot last season against Shamrock Rovers, who at that time were crowned champions for the fourth consecutive year. Ultimately, they lost out to their neighbour, finishing just two points behind—61 to 63.
Now, Stephen Bradley’s men have reclaimed top spot. In May, they strung together five consecutive wins, but in the most recent matchday they couldn't break down Galway's defence at home, settling for a goalless draw. The reigning champions have clearly lost ground, struggling to win lately. With 27 points, they are now mid-table.
Wood and his teammates score an average of 1.16 goals per round, but concede even less—1.05. It’s no surprise the visitors lead the table: they score 1.74 goals per game on average, while conceding half as much—0.74.
