Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians Preview

Shamrock Rovers’ Form

Shamrock Rovers have dominated Irish Football since their 2020 Premier Division victory winning 4 titles in a row. However, it’s been a stereotypical slow start for them this year with 6 points from 5 games.

In their last game before the International Break, they earned a deserved away victory against Galway United. In the match, they had 17 shots and 72% of possession to their opponents 9 and 28%. In my opinion, it’s only a matter of time before the strength of this Rovers’ squad comes true and they climb up the Premier Division.

Rovers are unbeaten in their last 4 matches against Bohemians.

Bohemians’ Form

Bohemians had a turbulent off-season, headlined by the loss of Afolabi which led to a deadline day scramble to try and bring some players in to strengthen the squad. However, those additions came too late for Declan Devine, and he received the bullet 4 games into the season,

Before the International Break though Bohemians had a 2-1 victory over Derry City under interim manager Pat Fenlon which could be a massive confidence booster for the squad. It has since been announced that Alan Reynolds has left his role as Waterford Assistant Manager to land the Bohemians job's first job in the main hot seat since his spell with Waterford from 2017-2020.

This is an extremely difficult start for Alan Reynolds, and it could prove to be a baptism of fire. However, a result in this game could be the turning point in their season and they do go into it in marginally better form than Shamrock Rovers.

Key Players To Watch

Darragh Burns – Shamrock Rovers

The former St Patrick’s Athletic star is back in the League of Ireland following an unsuccessful period with MK Dons. He has a point to prove that he still has the technical ability and talent to bounce back from his nightmare period with MK Dons. He has started the season very well too with 1 Goal and 2 Assists from his opening 5 League Games.

James Clarke – Bohemians

Where would Bohemians be without James Clarke? The former Drogheda United man has been their standout performer in Attacking Midfield this season with 2 Goals and 1 Assist. He is a high-quality player who has the talent to play even higher in the game but right now Bohemians are lucky to have him to pick.

Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Shamrock Rovers 3-1 Bohemians 

Fireworks are always guaranteed in any edition of the “Dublin Derby” and that’ll be a tough first task for new Bohemians manager Alan Reynolds.

Shamrock Rovers have started the league slowly, but by all accounts and factors they should be far too good for Bohemians here and I think they’ll be comfortable winners.

Best Bet: Shamrock Rovers Win + BTTS 5/2
