Attacking Output

Elbouzedi (3G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Shamrock Rovers deploy 5 defenders rated 6.99 on average, against St Patrick's Athl.'s 3-man backline averaging 7.24. 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 7.31, versus St Patrick's Athl.'s 4 rated 7.13. 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

Shamrock Rovers start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.71, compared to 3 for St Patrick's Athl. averaging 6.83. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 81% for Shamrock Rovers and 75% 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 15 yellow cards this season, compared to 8 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 13 league appearances each, versus 13 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.
