Shamrock Rovers – Waterford

In 4 meetings between Shamrock Rovers and Waterford, Shamrock Rovers have been the more successful side, winning 3 to 0 with 1 draws along the way. The record leans firmly in one direction, but in a rivalry like this one head-to-head form rarely tells the full story once the game kicks off. Goals have rarely been in short supply. These games produce 2.5 on average, with 25% of the meetings bringing three or more, and both teams have found the net in 50% of them, which points to an open contest more often than a cagey one. Where the game is played has mattered. Shamrock Rovers hold 2-0-0 as hosts in this fixture, and Waterford show 0-1-1 at home, underlining how much home comfort can tilt an otherwise close rivalry one way or the other. Current form reads clearly enough: Shamrock Rovers have 4 wins in their last 5, scoring 2.4 each time out, and Waterford have 2 from 5, netting 2.2 on average. Momentum like that can quickly override what the historical numbers suggest. In percentage terms it reads 75% to Shamrock Rovers, 25% drawn and 0% to Waterford. Those splits are a fair guide to what tends to happen, even if any single meeting can buck the trend. Most recently, on 18.09.2026, Shamrock Rovers and Waterford served up a 3–2 result, the newest entry in this head-to-head. Until the sides are paired again, that match remains the latest word in a long-running rivalry.
