Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Derry City vs Shamrock Rovers is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.94.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.

Our prediction is: Shamrock Rovers win or draw

We feel strongly about Shamrock Rovers's chances of leaving with a point, or maybe even more. That is why our betting tip is Shamrock Rovers to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

Shamrock Rovers has shown considerable courage and determination in their recent away performances, while Derry City's form has not been the most convincing. So while an away win might be too much to ask for, Shamrock Rovers is more than capable of collecting a point in this match.
