Vikingur Reykjavik vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Shamrock Rovers have lost seven of their 23 league games this term
• Vikingur Reykjavik have beaten Lech Poznan at home in recent years
• Rovers have conceded 24 times in 23 league outings

Rovers struggling

Shamrock Rovers have been the dominant force in Irish football in recent years but that looks set to come to an end this season as they are already 13 points adrift of table toppers Shelbourne after losing seven of their 23 league games.

That is three more defeats than Stephen Bradley’s men suffered in the whole of last season so they are clearly not the force of old and may struggle in their Champions League qualifier against Vikingur Reykjavik.

Hosts solid

The hosts are top of the table in Iceland and have lost just one of their last 24 outings in all competitions.

They have beaten Lech Poznan and Riga at home in recent seasons and even secured a 3-3 draw with Malmo on home soil.

They look likely to be too strong for a Shamrock Rovers side who need to find their feet again.
