League of Ireland Betting Tips – The Finish Line in Sight
The finish line is fast approaching, yet nothing is decided in the 2025 League of Ireland campaign. For the second week running, Shamrock Rovers missed the chance to clinch the title, suffering another Dublin derby defeat away to St. Pat’s. The Hoops can still secure a fifth league crown in six years by picking up a point away to Derry City on Sunday.
Elsewhere, the battle for European qualification and the relegation fight remain finely balanced. Monday’s draw between Bohemians and St. Pat’s leaves just one point separating those two sides and Drogheda United in the race for fourth, while Galway United, Sligo Rovers and Waterford FC are level on points as the scrap to avoid the relegation play-off goes down to the wire.
