A stellar run of form has put Shamrock Rovers in total control of the title race, and they have picked up 22 points from their last eight matches. As a result, Rovers sit 11 points clear at the top as they seek to wrestle the title back from Shelbourne.

Rovers have a brilliant record in the league this term, losing only three times across their 22 matches. 

However, Bohemians account for two of those three defeats, having won both meetings between the pair this season. The hosts have put together a run of their own, so they are set to test the leaders on Monday night.

Bohemians vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction

Best Bet: Bohemians Draw No Bet @ 6/4

Bohemians have put together a run of their own, moving within reach of second place after a brilliant stretch of results. Since April 18th, these two sides lead the division with eight league victories apiece. Rovers have achieved those wins in 13 matches, but the Bohs have done it in only 11.

The hosts head into this contest having won five of their last seven games, including four wins to nil. They are defensively sound, while they have pieced together a run of five victories in six at home. Their one slip-up in that run arguably contained one of their best displays, as they generated 3.29 xG to Waterford’s 0.29.

Shamrock Rovers have suffered two of their three league defeats so far on the road. Having also lost four of the previous five clashes between the two sides, the leaders are worth opposing here. 

Aaron Rogan explains:

The Bohs are becoming a real bogey side for Rovers, including an incredible fightback from 2-0 down to win 3-2 away from home when they last met. With the hosts in fantastic form, their price really stands out here.

Bohemians vs Shamrock Rovers Bet Builder Tip

• Bohemians double chance
• Ross Tierney to score
• Over 7 corners
  
  Pays 10/1

Our bet builder begins with Bohemians double chance, with the hosts backed to get some kind of result given their strong record against Rovers of late.

A key man in the Bohs’ last two wins over Shamrock Rovers was Ross Tierney. He has scored four league goals this term, but he scored in each of the two previous clashes between the pair this season.

The winger recorded an assist against Waterford last time out, but he can return to the scoresheet and trouble Rovers once more.

With the hosts averaging 10.11 corners per game at home, while Rovers average 9.09 per game, over seven corners completes this 10/1 treble.

Aaron Rogan adds:

Ross Tierney’s goalscorer price allows us to play the hosts a little safer here on the double chance market. Tierney can make a key impact off the wing, while the pair win a combined average of 11.5 corners per game, making over seven a good final leg.

Tactics, Form and Team News

The hosts head into this clash with no new injury concerns, although they remain without defender Alex Lacey and midfielder Connor Parsons. 

While the Bohs lost at Waterford last time out, they aren’t expected to ring major changes for the game. The visitors have put together a strong run of form and created plenty of chances in their last game, so back them to stick with a balanced 4-3-3 lineup.

Expected Bohemians line-up (4-3-3): Chorazka, Morahan, Kavanagh, Cornwall, Flores;  Devoy, McDonnell, Brennan; Rooney, Tierney, Whelan.

Shamrock Rovers sparked into life with a switch to three at the back, so expect the visitors to retain that shape for this trip across the capital.

Forward Graham Burke has struggled to get into the side of late, he’s expected to start on the bench once more. Rovers could take a slightly more conservative approach and tweak their system to a 3-5-2 to try and match the Bohs in the middle of the park.

Expected Shamrock Rovers line-up (3-4-3): McGinty, Cleary, Lopez, O’Sullivan; Mandroiu, Watts, O’Sullivan, Clarke; Grant, Gaffney, Noonan.
