Shamrock Rovers host Sligo Rovers in what looks to be a one-sided Irish Premier League clash on Friday night. Stephen Bradley's Hoops have been almost perfect at home this season (seven wins and a draw from eight) and face the visiting Bit O'Red, with John Russel's visitors struggling for form and having a torrid time on the road, losing five of their last eight away games. As such, backing Shamrock to win, but without scoring a goal, is the prediction to back for this match.
The current table makes great reading for Shamrock fans, with Rovers having taken 34 points from their 17 games played, leaving them three clear at the top ahead of St. Patrick's Athletic. It's a different story for Sligo Rovers, who have also played 17 games, but taken just 16 points, which puts them nine points ahead of Waterford, who are bottom and three points behind Drogheda in eighth.
Shamrock's last four results have seen them beat Waterford 1-0 at home, then crush Drogheda United 4-1 also at home. They then earned a 3-1 win away at Galway but came unstuck on Friday, losing 1-0 at Dundalk.
Sligo's form is not as impressive. A 1-0 defeat at Drogheda was followed by two draws, 1-1 at home to St Patrick's Athletic and then 0-0 at Shelbourne. However, they were thrashed 4-1 at home by Galway United at the weekend.

Our Shamrock Rovers vs Sligo Rovers Prediction
Our prediction for the Shamrock Rovers vs. Sligo Rovers match is: Shamrock Rovers win to nil.
Shamrock has an outstanding home record this season, dropping just two points in their eight home games, conceding just five goals, while netting sixteen. Sligo Rovers' away form is poor with just one win in eight, and this trip to the top of the table team looks like being a very big ask for a team just one place above the bottom of the table. As such, Shamrock to win to nil is the value pick to back here.
