⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both sides go into the final round without any serious pressure on them, so an open, high-scoring game seems unlikely. Shamrock Rovers have already secured the title and can focus on controlling the ball without pushing hard in attack. In 8 of their last 9 away Premier Division matches, fewer than four goals were scored. Dundalk are capable of making things difficult on their own ground, but their inconsistent results give little reason to expect a high-scoring performance from the hosts. Given the lack of any pressing motivation for either side and Shamrock Rovers' consistent away trend, we're backing Total Goals - Under 3.5. A 1-1 scoreline is possible.
