We said: Shamrock Rovers 2-1 Shelbourne

While the momentum is with Shelbourne heading into Friday's fixture, league leaders Shamrock are still the favourites to come out on top in front of their own supporters. Bradley's men will be fired up to make amends for Monday's defeat and with almost a full squad to choose from, they should have enough quality to edge past the Reds. Read more.
