Reigning Airtricity League champions Shamrock Rovers have been installed as the favourites to win the title this season by Irish bookmakers Boylesports.
After acquiring some top players during the off season, the Hoops look stronger than ever and are the 10/11 favourites to win the Airtricity League for a second consecutive year. Sligo Rovers have been installed as the second favourites at 5/2, while Dundalk can be backed at 9/1.
The action kicks off on Friday night and match betting is tight according to the latest match odds from Boylesports. The Hoops are 8/11 to beat Dundalk at the Tallaght Stadium, while the Lilywhites are 10/3 to cause an upset. However, Bohemians’ price of 11/8 to overcome Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds has been the most popular bet of the opening round.
