Chelsea v Shamrock Rovers Betting Tips [19 December 2024]

Chelsea have the chance to complete a perfect run in the Conference League when they host Shamrock Rovers. The Blues lead the league phase standings and will be expected to add three points here. Below is our prediction for the match. 

Chelsea have 15 points from five matches, one more will confirm them as top finishers. They have had an impeccable run in the competition despite using a “B” team. Coming from a solid run in the league as well, anything but a win here will be a shocker. 

In a week that one of their key players tested positive for a banned substance, Chelsea can make the news back about the team and not a player. 

Shamrock are a decent side, going by their results and will for sure give Chelsea a run for their money. The Irish side warmed up for this match with a 3-0 win against Borac Banja Luka in the last round. 

Unbeaten in the Conference League, they will be eyeing an upset in London. They carry there a run of seven wins in nine matches and are actually unbeaten in those nine outings. In their last six away matches, Shamrock Rovers registered four wins.

Shamrock Rovers have done well so far, and will not have stage fright at Stamford Bridge. This could be helped by the fact Chelsea aren’t using their best players for this competition. However, Shamrock Rovers will still be the underdogs here.

They have done well defensively this season but may not be able to stop Chelsea, who also have momentary defensive lapses. On that front, we expect the teams to cancel out each other and given their scoring runs, it won’t be a surprise having both nets bulge. Our prediction for Chelsea v Shamrock Rovers is for both teams to score.
