Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Double Chance - 1X
Our betting recommendation is to take Shamrock Rovers to win or draw in the Double Chance market. This means that as long as Shamrock Rovers avoids defeat, the bet is successful—an outcome we think is very likely.
With the gap in quality between the two teams clear from recent performances, along with Shamrock Rovers’s strong home record, we don’t see them losing to Dundalk in this match.
👉 Prediction: Shamrock Rovers to Win the First Half
With Shamrock Rovers coming into this match in great form and holding the home advantage against Dundalk, we see good value in backing them to win the first half.
Since the odds for a full-time win may not be as rewarding, the half-time bet can be a good alternative.
