Shamrock Rovers vs Bohemians Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Republic of Ireland Premier Division is set to light up this Friday, 29th March, with a classic encounter as Shamrock Rovers host Bohemians at the Tallaght Stadium for what promises to be an exhilarating 7th round match-up. With kick-off slated for 19:45, fans are in for a spectacle as these two teams battle it out on the pitch.

Shamrock Rovers, under the guidance of Stephen Bradley, aim to leverage their home advantage and climb up from their current 7th place standing. Having secured a total of 6 points so far this season, their form has been somewhat mixed with 1 win, 1 loss, and 3 draws in their last five matches. Notably, they come into this game off the back of a confidence-boosting victory against Galway United away from home which ended in a narrow 1-0 win.

On the opposite side of the pitch stand Bohemians led by Derek Pender who find themselves just above Rovers in the league table at position six with one additional point (7). Their recent form paints a slightly more positive picture than that of their hosts - having managed to secure wins in two out of their last five games alongside two losses and one draw. They will undoubtedly carry momentum into this clash after defeating Derry City at home with a scoreline reading Bohemians 2 - Derry City 1.

Looking back at past encounters between these sides adds another layer of intrigue; Shamrock Rovers have had an upper hand recently winning three out of their last five head-to-head matches including dismantling Bohemians with an emphatic scoreline (3-0) when they met earlier on September first at Tallaght Stadium.

Statistically speaking both teams have shown varied performances especially when it comes down to scoring goals; Shamrock averages higher both overall (1.3 goals per game) and significantly more so when playing at home (2.25 goals per game). Conversely, Bohemians struggle away from home managing only about (0.67 goals per game).

Bet

Given both team's current forms and considering that goal statistics lean favourably towards high-scoring outcomes especially during Shamrock's home games; coupled with historical encounters favoring them as well – our recommended bet would lean towards Over 2.5 goals being scored throughout this match-up.
