Shamrock Rovers take on the visitors Derry City in the round 25 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Monday, June 26th at Tallaght Stadium (Dublin).
Shamrock Rovers are leading the table and steadily moving towards defending their championship title. They have a four-point lead over their closest pursuer and have been undefeated for four rounds. In their recent match, the country's main derby, Shamrock secured a hard-fought draw against Bohemians (2-2). Prior to that, they defeated Dundalk (2-0), Sligo Rovers (3-0), and UC Dublin (4-0) successively, without conceding a single goal in these matches. I don't think the unbeaten streak of the Rovers' players will be interrupted in their home match against Derry City, who are currently not in the best form.

Derry City players, on the other hand, are the main pursuers of the table leader. Thanks to their victory in the last round and Shamrock's stumble, they managed to reduce the gap to four points. However, it's worth noting that before their home victory against Cork City, Derry City had not won in the league for four consecutive rounds, earning only two points during that period. They played goalless draws at home against Bohemians and Shelbourne, and in their two recent away matches, they lost to Sligo Rovers (0-1) and St. Patrick's (1-4). It's unlikely that the visitors will prevail in this match against Shamrock, who have only lost twice in 11 home matches this season.
Bookmakers are not rushing to designate the championship leaders as favorites, as their main competitor in the race for the gold medals is visiting them. I won't take the risk and bet on the home team's victory either. The handicap (0) for Shamrock has too low odds. However, I don't believe in the defeat of the current country champions at all. Currently, the Shamrock Rovers players are in much better form than their opponents. As for my overall bet, I'll go with 1X and Under 3.5 goals. There shouldn't be many goals in this match. In the 22 league rounds, the capital team has scored only seven times in tandem with their opponents. Derry City has done even less in their matches, scoring only five times. Moreover, in the last five head-to-head matches between the teams, the Under 3.5 goals bet was successful without any problems. Prediction: the hosts will not lose, and there will be fewer than four goals in the match.
Prediction for the match: Shamrock Rovers not to lose and Under 3.5 scored goals.
