Newly-crowned Irish Premier League Champions, Shamrock Rovers, face Sligo Rovers in their final match of the league campaign. It has been a nervy end to the season for the Hoops before they secured the title in midweek and they finish the campaign against The Bit O'Red at what will be a triumphant Tallaght Stadium. Here's our prediction for the game.
After playing their game in hand in midweek, Shamrock finally confirmed themselves as Champions and they now have 66 points from 35 games, six clear of Derry City in second. However, there's plenty at stake for Sligo Rovers as they are one of three teams on 38 points from 35 games, the worst performer of which after Saturday's games will finish in the relegation playoff position.
Shamrock had lost three successive league games heading into midweek. A 1-0 home defeat to Shelbourne was followed by two away losses, 1-0 at St. Patrick's Athletic and 2-1 at Derry City. However, a 1-0 home win over Galway United in midweek clinched the league title for certain ahead of this game.
Coming into this fixture, Sligo Rovers recent form is not too bad. They have lost just two of their last eight (D3, W3), but both those losses came on the road a 1-0 loss at Derry City and then a 3-1 defeat away to Shelbourne. However, last weekend they did avoid a third defeat, drawing 1-1 at home to bottom club Cork City.

It looked like the pressure was getting to Shamrock in their last few league games, but the win in midweek means that pressure valve has been released. Sligo come into this game needing something to avoid the relegation playoff, but against the Champions, and their excellent home form, that looks a tall order.
