Sligo Rovers host runaway league leaders Shamrock Rovers at The Showgrounds on Friday in a Premier Division fixture that pits two sides in wildly contrasting form. The Hoops sit top of the table with a commanding lead, while Sligo remain deep in the relegation mix. With the visitors in red-hot recent form, our prediction for this match backs Shamrock Rovers to win.
Stephen Bradley's side have won two of their last three, beating Galway United 3-1 and Waterford 2-0, and hold a seven-point cushion over the chasing pack in the Premier Division. And they’ve deserved every bit of it after winning 14 of 24 games, netting the joint-most goals (38) and conceding the second-fewest (2-1).
Sligo, by contrast, have picked up just one point from their previous four league games following a 2-2 draw with Shelbourne that leaves them second-bottom of the table.
Sligo did spring a shock 2-1 win over these exact opponents back in May, so an upset isn't unprecedented, but Shamrock will have every incentive to settle the score and continue their push for the title.
