Sligo Rovers are one of the leading teams in the Republic of Ireland, with the team only having three titles to their name and the latest of these was in 2012 although it appears that they are now a major contender when it comes to the Premier Division.
Shamrock Rovers are another recognisable name and the Hoops were crowned champions in 2020 and that made it eighteen top flight titles for a club who are likely to be competitive and regularly trade at short odds in the betting.
St Patrick’s Athletic have nine Irish championships in the bag and they are also worth respecting when it comes to the latest betting markets, with Drogheda United only having one win on the board.

The 2020 League of Ireland Premier Division began on 14 February 2020 and is traditionally a football division that is mainly played during the spring and summer months, although the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the season firstly being postponed and then resumed so that the end date is a good deal later.
The Irish Premier League is now scheduled to end on 30 October 2020, with the teams only playing each other twice which means each club will play a sum total of eighteen games rather than a total of thirty-six. It means that each team will only play 50% of their originally scheduled matches.
Who are the Best League of Ireland Teams to Bet On?
Dundalk won the 2019 League of Ireland Premier Division title by amassing 86 points from 36 games and perhaps they’ll be the team to beat in 2020, although they face some stiff competition from Shamrock Rovers who made a flying start to the season by winning seven of their opening eight matches.
Bohemians also look a strong team for the 2020 Irish Premier League, although it doesn’t always pay to back the favourites who are naturally going to be trading at a short price compared to some of the other sides lining up for their matches.
Indeed, there could be some merit in backing St Patrick’s Athletic, Waterford or Shelbourne instead, with these teams sometimes offering a spot of value despite the fact that their win ratio is likely to be lower than the top-ranked sides.
