Best Bet Has to Be Under 2.5

There’s a strong argument to go with Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. Shamrock and Waterford might not reach this total and we’re a fan of the odds of 1.75 that are available for this prediction.

Shamrock Are 9 From 10 on the H2H

Shamrock Rovers won last time out by a 1-0 scoreline. It was away from home against Galway United at Eamonn Deacy Park. The Hoops had most of the ball enjoying 57% possession and two shots on target, with an early second half strike from Rory Gaffney proving the difference.

Waterford have now lost four consecutive games. Away from home in their previous game, Drogheda United won 2-0 at Sullivan and Lambe Park. Keith Long's side recorded 60% possession and had three shots on goal.

Shamrock have won the last two encounters against Waterford. The most recent was a 2-1 home win at Tallaght Stadium after a 2-1 away victory at Waterford RSC. In the past 10 H2H games, we’ve seen nine Shamrock wins and one Waterford triumph.
