League of Ireland: Monday football betting previews, tips and odds

From 7.45pm Monday

Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers are both in action as a compelling title race enters the halfway point.

Bohemians may still think they have an outside chance, three points below Dundalk if they win at Oriel Park, although that seems a pretty tall order. The odds look about right.

A trip to Finn Harps, who are fighting hard and no longer bottom of the table, is no formality for Shamrock Rovers. They may have to be patient to land maximum points and with that in mind backing the half-time draw and the visitors to win makes some appeal.

UCD were good against Shamrock Rovers on Friday and have a decent chance of getting something off Cork City, who lost at home to Dundalk.

Garry Buckley returns to the City fold but Gearoid Morrissey, Shane Griffin and Dan Casey are all doubts and UCD will get hope from that.

Galway United are on a roll and could surprise Bray in Division 1.

Recommendation
UCD
1pt 10-3 general
Draw-Shamrock Rovers double result
1pt 10-3 general
Galway
1pt 4-1 general
