Finn Harps vs Shamrock Rovers Analysis<\/h2>\n

Finn Harps will look to snap their recent seven game winless run on Friday when they host table-toppers Shamrock Rovers over in Ballybofey in the Irish Premier Division.<\/p>\n

Finn Harps have shown a little resilience at home over recent games, losing just two of their last four up in the northwest, but it will nevertheless be a task easier said than done as the Harps have registered just one win at home all season while Shamrock Rovers have only suffered two losses over their last nine road games in all.<\/p>\n

Rovers Defensive Masterclass<\/h3>\n

While Shamrock Rovers might be outgunned in offense by some of the other teams in the league this season, at the back they\u2019ve been absolutely watertight, allowing just 0.64 goals per game on average to opponents this year.<\/p>\n

The data backs those numbers up as well with Rovers keeping a 45% clean sheet record this season (No. 1), the league\u2019s best expected goals against average at 0.78 xGA (No. 1) and the league\u2019s best expected goals against average on the road also at 0.92 xGA (No. 1).<\/p>\n

Finn Harps Continuing To Find Ways To Come Up Short<\/h3>\n

In terms of current form, no team is doing worse than Finn Harps are right now as the Donegal-based club is averaging just 0.33 points per game over their last six starts, by far the lowest average in the league (UCD have averaged 0.67 ppg over their last six starts).<\/p>\n

That poor form has extended to Finn Harps becoming the only team over the current six game stretch to have failed to keep even one clean sheet as well and if things don\u2019t start to soon go right for the Harps, they\u2019ll find the gulf between themselves and Drogheda United in eighth simply too far to bridge.

Finn Harps vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to look past a comprehensive Shamrock Rovers victory in this one and we\u2019re happy to back them on the current -1.25 handicap line to win and cover on Friday.<\/p>\n

While Rovers have stumbled recently, losing two of their last eighteen games over just their last five starts, they\u2019re still the far superior outfit heading into this one and should have far too much for a Finn Harps side in the league\u2019s worst run of form right now.<\/p>\n

Take Shamrock Rovers -1.25<\/strong> to win and cover against Finn Harps on Friday over in the Irish Premier Division.<\/p>\n
