Nevertheless, holding a commanding six-point buffer at the top of the Premier Division standings, it is no secret that the Irish heavyweights are universally regarded as a landslide contender to defend their Premier Division crown. Looking to lay down a title marker on Friday night, Stephen Bradley’s camp have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous five consecutive top-flight appearances. Likewise, despite only collecting a single point at the Tallaght Stadium last time out, Shamrock do hold a fearsome reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Signing off May with a rugged 1-0 victory against St. Patrick’s, Bradley’s camp have lost just one of their last 11 consecutive showdowns in front of their own supporters – a run that stems back to the end of January.As for the visitors, producing a gutsy performance last time out as they snatched a 2-1 victory at home against Derry City, Galway will be desperate to use that shock result as a platform to build on. Widening their buffer over the relegation play-off spot to five points, the Maroon Army now travel to Dublin hoping to register consecutive Premier Division wins for the first time since the start of April. However, more than aware that they face a monumental challenge in the capital this weekend, John Caulfield’s camp are rightfully installed as a real underdog contender on Friday night. Getting June underway with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Dundalk, Galway should also be concerned by a nightmare record against the reigning Irish champions. Falling to a routine 3-1 defeat when they last met Shamrock back on May 8th, they have lost each of their previous three straight showdowns by an aggregate score of 6-1. Two camps still scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Premier Division standings, we are backing a home win in Dublin here.Bet: Shamrock Rovers 5/11 to beat Galway in Friday’s Irish Premier Division battle @ BetUSThe post Bitesize Prediction: Shamrock Rovers vs Galway – 26/06/26 appeared first on SoccerNews.
