Comparative Team Statistics: Shamrock Rovers vs Bohemians

A fairly even head-to-head

The last six meetings between these two have split three wins apiece, stretching back to April 2025. Scorelines have rarely been one-sided, with plenty of matches finishing 2-1 or 3-2 either way.

Looking further back across recent seasons, the head-to-head record doesn't lean strongly toward either side. It's been a competitive fixture more often than not.

Tight at the top

Shamrock Rovers sit second with 59 points from 31 games, while Bohemians are third on 56. That's just three points between them, though Rovers hold the healthier goal difference in the league itself, with 49 scored and 31 conceded against Bohemians' 55 and 37.

This is effectively a contest between two of the division's in-form top three sides.

Key men in form

Bohemians' C. Whelan has been the standout across this pair, with 12 goals in 31 appearances, comfortably the most of anyone involved. R. Tierney adds another nine, so Bohemians carry real firepower up front.

Rovers' scoring is more spread out, with J. McGovern, G. Burke and M. Noonan each contributing six or seven goals from a similar number of games. D. Devoy and M. Healy have picked up the most bookings for their sides, worth noting given how physical this fixture can get.

Bohemians look more reliant on individual quality up front than Rovers do.

How this one might play out

Given both sides' scoring records and the history between them, a tight, goal-involved match looks the likely shape. Recent head-to-head meetings have rarely finished goalless, and both teams have shown they can score against decent opposition this season.

With so little separating them in the table and in recent form, home advantage might end up being the only real difference on the day.
