Sligo Rovers vs Shamrock Rovers: Prediction, Preview, lineups, tips and odds on July 5, 2025




Game Prediction
In the 23rd round of the Irish Premier Division, Sligo Rovers will host Shamrock Rovers on July 5, 2025. The visitors are aiming to reclaim the champion's title, and winning on the field of a modest mid-table team should be another step towards this goal.
Our Prediction for Sligo Rovers vs Shamrock Rovers
The club from 'Showgrounds' confirmed their mid-table status last season, finishing with 49 points in sixth place. Dublin's giant set a new national record in 2023, winning their 21st championship (and fourth in a row), but then became a victim of their own European success, yielding the top spot to Shelbourne.
The new season for Bradley's team started with a battle against Molde in the Conference League, where both teams won 1-0, but Shamrock lost on penalties. However, they managed to regain first place in the Premiership. True, they suffered a defeat to Bohemians in June, but then narrowly beat Waterford. The home side appears quite average overall. However, in June they improved their position with wins over Waterford and Galway, and even drew with Bohemians.
Russell’s men score 1.18 goals per game on average, but concede much more — 1.68 per game. The league leaders show the following stats: scoring 1.75 per game, conceding just 0.88.
