Recent meetings
In a head-to-head record that has seen Bohemian FC win 4 and Shamrock Rovers win 1 of the last 5 meetings, Shamrock Rovers will be keen to reverse the recent trend when they host the Bohs on Friday night.
Shamrock Rovers
- Shamrock Rovers can call on Graham Burke to create a goal or two on Friday.
- Jack Byrne is another creative force for the hosts, and his play is the focal point for Rovers’ attacks.
Bohemian FC
- Colm Whelan is the main goal threat, scoring 5 times in 11 league games.
- He’s always a threat in the box and could have a good game against a home defence that is unbeaten in their 5 home Premier Division matches.
Betting Insights
- Although both sides average 2.0 goals scored in their respective home and away games against one another over the last 5 encounters, Shamrock Rovers have scored 9 goals in 5 home league games this season (1.8 per game), while Bohemian FC average 1.20 goals per away match in the Premier Division 2026.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a good play at 1.75.
- The big play here is the draw at 3.2.
Prediction
- Shamrock Rovers will dominate possession but Bohemian will press and win the ball back quickly, so it should be a cagey affair with few clear-cut chances.
- A draw would suit both clubs and that’s what we’re taking here.
