League of Ireland weekend predictions
Shamrock Rovers look great value at odds-against to win the League of Ireland now that they have clicked into gear.
The champions, who host Shelbourne on Friday, started the season slowly but have won three on the bounce without conceding, hitting nine goals in the process. Derry ought to remain a threat but Rovers are so good right now it is hard to see them remaining available at odds-against for much longer.
Bohemians are making the running, but Rovers were miles better than them last Friday and have far greater scope to enhance their squad if required while Derry's recent lack of goals is a major concern.
Derry visit Dundalk on Sunday and that is a game of limited appeal from a betting perspective. Both have endured a poor run of form lately and it is hard to know what to expect.
On a tricky coupon this weekend Treaty look the best bet to get a result at a Finn Harps team struggling for confidence. Blues have an excellent coach in Tommy Barrett, are clicking into form and ought to start moving up the table in the next few weeks.
Galway United have won all their Division 1 games but they take on a decent side in Bray Wanderers, who have lost just once, and Wanderers can at least keep it tight in Terryland.
The Seagulls are getting better week on week and Galway look a bit flattered by their recent wins.
