Defensive Solidity

Shamrock Rovers deploy 5 defenders rated 6.99 on average, against St Patrick's Athl.'s 4-man backline averaging 6.91. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Shamrock Rovers field 3 midfielders averaging 7.08, versus St Patrick's Athl.'s 4 rated 7.08. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 81% for Shamrock Rovers and 74% for St Patrick's Athl.. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Shamrock Rovers's starters have collected 16 yellow cards this season, compared to 5 for St Patrick's Athl.. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Squad Depth

Shamrock Rovers's starters average 12 league appearances each, versus 12 for St Patrick's Athl.. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
