"There's a degree of embarrassment for overlooking Shamrock Rovers last season which might just be behind a lot of predictions that the Hoops will get it done again. It makes the most sense; especially if they add a few more bodies before the window closes. Shelbourne and Derry City are the most likely challengers, and Shels might just have a better squad. I think we'll get a title race but Rovers look best."

There is a degree of embarrassment for overlooking Shamrock Rovers last season, which informs current expectations. Shamrock Rovers emerge as the most likely winners to retain the Premier Division title. That likelihood strengthens if the club recruits a few additional players before the transfer window closes. Shelbourne and Derry City stand out as the principal challengers to Rovers. Shelbourne may possess a stronger overall squad than its rivals. A competitive title race is expected, but Shamrock Rovers are judged to be the best placed to secure the championship.
