Shamrock Rovers vs Sligo Rovers Predictions

• Shamrock Rovers are one of only two remaining unbeaten home sides.
• Sligo have won just once away to Shamrock since 2013.
• Shamrock are the current champions and are chasing a record-equalling eighth title.

No luck needed for Shamrock Rovers

Sitting one point off the peak of the table ahead of this round, Shamrock Rovers know that a win is a must if they are to keep pace with Derry and potentially edge ahead in the early season title race.

Luckily for the hosts, they have won six of their seven home league games (D1) and are one of only two sides yet to taste defeat on home soil.

On the other hand, Sligo sit three points off the top-three but are winless in two games (D1, L1), not ideal form when they are seeking just a second victory at this venue across the last nine years.

Stick with the form

While the price on a Shamrock Rovers win is short, it is definitely fair given the circumstances. It is tough to pick a caveat such as over 2.5 goals or ‘to nil’ as their wins have proven to be a mixed bag of scorelines this term.

Consequently, we are going with a confident three-star selection on the home win here, perhaps with a smaller stakes selection on a comfortable 3-0 Shamrock victory.
