Some very tricky games this week…..

My first selection would have to be Derry who have come into form over the last few games..most notably beatin Sligo 4-1..New manager Robertson has seemed to resurrect the team, although they haven’t been prolific on their travels this season however I think they are a great bet at 13/10 having improved greatly.

My next pick would be Shamrock Rovers who have been great at home all year and as I said on Tuesday play well against the teams in the lower half of the table..they also beat Waterford 2-0 on tues night. In contrast UCD have been playing poorly over the last number of games, they haven’t gathered many points however were unlucky to lose to a late Drogheda goal last Friday night. However I expect Shamrock to deliver Monday night.

With Dundalk drawing 1-1 tonight with Finn Harps it leaves the door open for Cobh to go within 1 point of the league leaders if they defeat Limerick on Saturday. Surely this will be a great incentive for them. Cobh have great home form this season winning 8 out of 9 conceding just 3 goals. Limerick have been playing well recently but I think this could be a bridge too far for them.

I also have slight preference for Sligo who won their last 2 at home discounting their resounding loss to Derry last week..i also think Athlone will beat basement side Kilkenny as they played out an impressive 0-0 draw with Cobh last Saturday night.

Main Picks….

Derry 13/10
Shamrock Rvrs 4/6
Cobh 4/5

in an acca..

Athlone 8/11
Sligo 10/11

Good luck all

Warning with Derry S. cos in tuesday have CL agains Pyunik Yerevan .
Cl is important for each club isnt it ?
Insiders, wait for You

1st Div.
Monaghan vs Wexford Youths
Monaghan should get another win vs Wexford Youths @ great odds imo.

Shelbourne v Kildare
Some new/old faces in both sides, Kildare rejoined by Stephen Cooling but McDermott is susspended, maybe will see some goals here..

[Van Basten]

Tonight's Premier Division game between Bray Wanderers and Derry City has been called off.
A pitch inspection was carried out by referee Dave McKeown at 12.30pm and due to torrential rain, the game has been cancelled.

I also think that Derry would be more concentrated on their future European game.
Bray is a solid home side, with 4 wins and draw vs. Pats in 5 last home matches, while Derry didn't won in any of last away games ( four draws and loss vs. Pats).
It looks like Derry couldn't count on any place at the top of the table this year, and they should concentrate on European competition.
Draw wont harm no one tonight.
1X for me.

Droghs & Bohs...two in form sides, picking 18 points from the last 10 games.
First thoughts goes to Under 2,5.
In last 8 Drogheda's games only once the margin of 2,5 goals were broken, in a match vs. Bray W. (4-1).
Bohemians received only 4 goals in last 10 games, but only at two matches, while 8 times remained clean sheet.

Partly, I could agree with Monaghan, but they also has some difficulties to score, since they didn't scored a single goal in a 5 of their 7 last matches.
Wexford is weak, but unpredictable side, especially away from home.
Monaghan is closer to a victory, but my first choice is Over 2, 5 goals.

The last one...
Kildare is heavily beaten away in each of their three last games.
Shelbourne showed some signs of improvement, boosted by a number of new players.
Home win.

[Monty H.]

Just a reminder, Droghs travel to Libertas next week for UC pre's

[Cinny]

I see Derry was called off..the weather is shocking over here..the rain is pounding down here up north..wouldnt surprise me if more were called off

[jimmyt]

Spot on Cinny, Shels game called off now as well which leaves Drogheda and Monegahn (You think these will go as well ??)

[Cinny]

Good chance they could go too but at this stage i think theyll go ahead..

[jimmyt]

Dont think the fact that Drogs plyaing in Europe will ffect them after all the games not till Thurs so im going for home win as they have been paying well lately and Bohs dont score many goals way from home

[Cinny]

Good luck with it mate..ive decided to stay away from it but as you say its thursday so i doubt it would affect them theyd be concentrating on staying top of the league!

Main 2 bets came up to leave it a good week all round on the eircom league front roll on next week

[bulit]

Great calls Cinny. I had Rovers also today and they won

[Cinny]

indeed mate chuffed with that win, nice 1

roll on next week and Cork tomorrow night

[allthethings]

I had a chance to play Cork with the -1 handicap at evens, now it's at -133...it is not a good bet imo. Cork have one home game all year in which they've beaten a team by 2+ goals (Longford, 2-0) and one game away (Derry 4-1) out of 15 games. Waterford, moreover, has been no pushover: they lose, but lose narrowly. Waterford have lost 3 of 8 away games by 2+ goals, two games early in the season and last week's game at Shamrock, which they held scoreless for 80 minutes. At home, they've lost one game by 2+ goals (1-3 to UCD) out of nine played. Throw in the fact that Cork have been busy with Intertoto play (in Sweden at midweek...four straight weeks of midweek games, in fact), and I think this may be a very tight game. Also, while Cork's h2h against Waterford shows two recent 2+ goal wins at home, this may be the classic letdown spot.
