Shamrock Rovers have already won the 2026 Ireland Premier Division title and will end the campaign away at Dundalk on Friday. This match at Oriel Park in Dundalk between the 7th-placed ‘Lilywhites’ and the 1st-placed ‘Hoops’ could prove to be a goal fest, but is there a surprise awaiting us at the end of the season?
With 42 points (W10, D12, L13), Dundalk start the last matchday with five points above the relegation zone. The best they can finish is sixth, while they can at worst finish eighth. The recent form isn’t their ally, though, as they have struggled for a win since the start of September.
Shamrock have won the title and have been one of the most consistent sides of this campaign, including four wins in their last five games. With a chance to finish the season with another victory, the champions could enjoy playing an open game. Does that open this game and promise an exciting season finale?

Dundalk - Shamrock Rovers: Form Analysis
Dundalk lost 2-1 away at Derry City last Friday to continue their poor recent form. The ‘Lilywhites’ have now gone winless in seven competitive games (D2, L5), including four defeats in their last five.
In the league, Dundalk have lost four of their last five games (D1) and could be eagerly looking for the end of the campaign. There’s no solace at home, as Dundalk were beaten in six of their last seven home league fixtures (D1).
Eleven of Dundalk’s last 13 home league games saw BTTS.
Shamrock thrashed Sligo Rovers 4-0 at home last Friday to make it four wins from their last five league games. They are finishing the season strong, thanks to a strong scoring record, which is the second-best in the division.
It’s their away record that could put the visitors nervous, as they lost their last two league trips, worryingly, both times failing to score. In fact, with only two wins from their last six league trips (W2, D1), playing on the road hasn’t been Shamrock’s forte.

Dundalk & Shamrock Rovers Squad Analysis
Dundalk have escaped any new major injuries in their latest game, and only Danny Muller remains their long-term absence. That gives the hosts a full squad to choose for their last match of the league campaign.
The ‘Lilywhites’ have lined up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation over the last few weeks and are set to continue that way. Daryl Horgan has been their best player in the league this season, scoring 11 goals and posting 10 assists, although netting just one in their last seven matches.
John McGovern has five goals and two assists in his last five games.
In fact, with ten goals and six assists, the forward has been Shamrock’s best league scorer this season. Victor Ozhianvuna is injured and out of action for this game, while Naj Razi and Danny Grant are ruled out because of red card suspension.
The visitors are likely to set up in their 3-4-3 formation, although there were cases where they used the 3-5-2 system.

Our Dundalk vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction
Shamrock have already won the title and have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, while Dundalk are guaranteed to finish between sixth and eighth. The mood in both camps would be one of unwinding, and that could open the doors for an open game. Watch out for both teams in the goals market and end the season positively.
Two of the last three league games between these sides have produced goals from both teams, and that trend is likely to continue. That’s why our Dundalk vs Shamrock Rovers prediction is BTTS.
Dundalk vs Shamrock Rovers Alternative Predictions
Shamrock Rovers wins
Shamrock haven’t shown signs of slowing down, winning four of their last five league games. Dundalk went the other way, losing four of their last five matches. Back the champions-elect to end the season with another victory.
