Cliftonville @ 8/11 - The table toppers will be hoping to continue their tremendous away form of 7-2-0 especially with Linfield snapping at their heels. They face a Dungannon side who have lost numerous players in the past month or so including McCluskey who decided to swtch codes and play GAA for Fermanagh. Another of their main players Shane McCabe was signed by Glentoran. Dungannon also had the joys of seeing Glentoran reduced to 10 men in last weeks Irish Cup game at 0-0 however still went on to be defeated 2-0. I Fancy Cliftonville to get another win their quest for the Gibson Cup.

Glentoran @ 4/9 - Some would think the Glens are out of the title race, currently 7 points off Cliftonville however a lot of things can happen between now and the end of the season. Im not too fond of the price but i can see nothing else other than a Glentoran win even though the Harbour Rats have picked up in the past month with a new manager. The Glens should have too much fire power for Larne.

Portadown @ 8/11 - In the past month or so the Ports have come out of the slump they had been in. They sit high in the form table and although very lucky to prgress against amateurs Downpatrick in the cup last week they'll be eager to piut that behind them and get another 3 points on the board. In the league theyve won 3 out of their last 4 including a slim 2-1 loss against Cliftonville having led for most of the game. Although Armagh defeated basement side Limavady 3-0 2 weeks ago against the stronger teams in the league they have struggled and i expect Saturday to be no different.

Linfield @ 8/13 Its hard to oppose the bluemen who are as usual in the hunt for another league title. They fought back from 2-1 down in the final 5 minutes of the CIS cup against Crusaders to win 3-2. They read 6-1-2 on their travels and face a Ballymena outfit who havent been their best in recent weeks. Their last results have been 2-2 with crusaders at home following being dumped out of the cup by newry on penalties then defeats against portadown and cliftonville. They havent been disgraced in any of their defeats but Linfield's class should prevail and they know they must keep the heat up on Cliftonville.

I also see slight value in backing Glenavon at 7/4 away to Donegal Celtic. DC are terrible at home with 1-2-6 while Glenavon save their best for away days reading 3-2-5. With new manager Cochrane getting a welcomed 2-0 home win over Stute last time out he'll be desperate to get more points on the board.

Distillery at Evens could win but in their last 3 home league games theyve drawn 2 of them to weaker sides in Institute and Glenavon although recovered last time at home to defeat Coleraine 1-0.

Newry at the moment are simply woeful with one of the worst form record in the league at present. I was at the game last saturday against Division 1 oufit Dundela and in truth we were lucky to get a relay which we scrapped through on Tuesday night. I couldnt touch us at 11/8 although we are a much better side than we are showing at present. Theres a few players returning tomorrow in Cullen Feeney and Garret and that should hopefully propell us to getting 3 points however i could back us nor back Institue who needed a replay to dispose of Ballyclare midweek.

Unbeaten in their last 3 at home Coleraine should beat basement boys Limavady at 8/11. I was impressed the way they played when beating us 2-0 at home and seem to be improving this past few weeks.

Ill post later my final picks and hopefully it will be a money making weekend

Good man Cinny i was away all day and just got in so no time to post earlier ,one match i dissagree on is Ballymena V Linfield there has been a slanging match between the BALLYMENA club/supporters and the buda [David Jeffery] Linfield's MANAGER [big Shi#e].
This spat has been simmering since the last game between the pair and the Sheepshaggers have got the hump with the blue's boss , listening to the Ballymena boss tonite on local radio the team are wound up for this one.

I've GOT A FEELING IN MY WATER that the sheepshsggers @ 9/2 with a possible draw @ 5/2 will get a result.

Dungannon had been in some disarray there for a while which I think they have now got themselves over and will spend between now and end season readjusting without mcloskey, mccable (and don't forget shea campbell!) and others ?

cliftonville did strengthen in january there also i believe both in preparation for setanta cup, freshen things up for current squad plus build for next season...but its THE LEAGUE this club wants...so this will be my banker for the weekend lads

No problem mate when i seen you didnt have the prices up new something must have been up

I heard something along those lines too, still think linfield should win but anythings possible

[Cinny]

Im going to go with

Linfield (puttin head on the line)
Glentoran
Cliftonville
Portadown

seriously considering dropping linfield though and going for the treble. Gunna stick with the trusted faithful of the big 4

Bit of fun might do a small bet on coleraine, distillery and glenavon

good luck folks!

I like over 2.5 @1.50 in Larn and Glentoran game.

H2H status - 7 overs from 9 games.

Larn home record 2w2d8l with 18-25 goals and 9 overs from 10 games.

Glentoran away 6w2d2l with 24-11 goals and 7 overs from 10 games.

Glentoran scored at least 2 goals in all away games exempt one.

Larn at home are able to score goals too so over 2.5 looks good here.
