Preview

Shamrock Rovers against Bohemians would normally attract a decent crowd to Tallaght but supporters must watch on at home on Friday with crowds still absent.

Rovers haven't clicked into gear yet but they should be too strong for Bohs, although the prices reflect that.

Finn Harps host St Patrick's, who look a shade big at 5-6. They're unbeaten this term and have commanded a lot of the ball in their games, with the Ballybofey pitch holding up well.

Three games take place on Saturday, all of which involve clubs who let their managers go this week.

As well as Drogheda have done, Dundalk should have their measure at Oriel Park, and the Lilywhites are worth backing at 4-6.

It is amazing that they are still awaiting their first league win of the season.

There looks to be a bit of value in Division One, where UCD are too big at 2-1 to beat Galway.

Galway have yet to make an impression, while College are second and likely to appreciate the surface at Eamonn Deacy Park.

Treaty should possibly be favourites at home to Cork, while a double on Shelbourne at Cabinteely and Athlone at home to Wexford looks a sensible play.
