Floriana vs Shamrock Rovers prediction

Floriana come into this season on the back of winning the Maltese Premier League for the first time since 2020 – their 27th title. The Maltese outfit got past Haverfordwest County before a defeat to Ballkani in the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.

Shamrock Rovers, who will be without Cabo Verde international centre-back Pico after his excellent performances at FIFA World Cup 2026, reclaimed the Irish title in 2025 and again sit at the top, seven points clear of Bohemians.

Shamrock Rovers will fancy themselves, mid-season, to be a tough opponent for Floriana and siding with the Dubliners would appear a decent bet here.

Floriana vs Shamrock Rovers tip: Double chance – Shamrock Rovers to win or draw
