When? 7.45 pm, Friday 15th September
Where? The Brandywell, Derry
How To Watch? Virgin Media Two
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Derry City are 5/4 Shamrock Rovers are 11/5, and the draw is 11/5.
Preview
Derry City currently trail their opponents at the top of the table with two identical league records of thirteen points in their last five league matches. The task for Derry is very simple in this match, win the game and they will be well in the mix to stop Shamrock Rovers four in a row one point behind with six games remaining, draw and the task remains very difficult and if they lose consider their challenge over for another year.

The remit and job for Shamrock Rovers will be very simple, win in Derry and even avoid defeat and their four-in-a-row dreams will be very likely with six games remaining in the league season. From their Head to Head in all competitions this season theyβre both on two victories a piece, however, they will gain a lot of solace having won the last two games 1-0 and 0-2.
A potential for goal of the season?

Sligo Rovers v UCD
When? 7.45 pm, Saturday, 17th September
Where? The Showgrounds, Sligo
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Sligo Rovers are 3/10, UCD are 15/2 and the draw is 4/1.
Preview
Sligo Rovers are in terrible form with four defeats and one draw in their last five league games. They will be coming into this one following a fourteen-day break from matches with their last game coming in a 3-0 defeat against Cork City which has blown the relegation playoff race back into contention with seven games remaining. Confidence may be low here and I sense they could be fragile, despite on paper having more than enough to win this one.
Back with you on Saturday night π«Ά
4 days to go…..
Come on Rovers! #bitored pic.twitter.com/DsPFzWNGTh

UCD have seven games remaining in the Premier Division before their inevitable relegation back to the First Division with one point in their last five league games. Last time out they were humbled 0-5 by Derry City. However, it should be noted that UCD beat them 2-1 at home back in June and they will have a free hit in this game.

A tough night at the Bowl.

Bray v Treaty
When? 7.45 pm, Friday 15th September
Where? Carlisle Grounds, Bray
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Bray can be gotten at 5/6, Treaty United are 11/4, while the draw is 15/4.
Preview
Bray, despite their early season form have only accumulated four points in their last five league games and are now seven points off the playoffs with six games remaining in the regular league season. They were beaten by champions-elect Galway 1-4 last Friday Night and it will now take a mammoth run of form for them to reach the playoffs.

Treaty are in great form despite having seven points in their last five games, they only have one point in their last three. Treaty one point behind Bray are another team which will need a phenomenal run of form if theyβre to reach the playoffs.

Athlone v Kerry
When? 7.45 pm, Friday 15th of September
Where? Athlone Stadium, Athlone
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Athlone are 2/13, Kerry can be gotten at 14/1 while the draw is 6/1.
Preview
Athlone are currently in fourth place and are very likely to be in the playoffs come the end of the season bar and a mighty collapse. What will be more interesting is to see how Athlone approaches these remaining matches and how they prepare for them with regards to squad rotation, tactical changes etc.

After two away games on the bounce, we're back at home to take on Kerry FC.
β± Fri, September 15th, Kick-off 7.45PM.

Kerry continued their progress on the field with a 0-0 draw against Longford Town last Friday night which was their second draw in their last five league games. Kerry got their first-ever League of Ireland victory against Athlone and so will be approaching this with a free-hit mentality again.
A night that will live in the memory for a long time to come
Our first ever win as a senior League of Ireland team came on our last trip to Athlone.

Waterford v Cobh
When? 8.00 pm, Friday 15th September
Where? The Regional Sports Centre, Waterford
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Waterford can be gotten at 1/3, Cobh Ramblers are 13/2, while the draw is 4/1.
Preview
Waterford have eight points in their last five league games, victims of purgatory as I said, not good enough to challenge Galway but seemingly too good for the sides below them on the table. To their credit, they travelled to Donegal last weekend and won 0-4 against Finn Harps despite a long journey. I still think there is an air of fragility about their playoff credentials.
90+4' FULL TIME in Finn Park and it's a 4-0 Blues win. Goals from Darragh Power, Cameron Cresswell and Dean McMenamy (2).
Big thanks once again for the support – back in action at the RSC on Friday against Cobh Ramblers.
0-4 #FINvWAT pic.twitter.com/hw2y7h1qAm
— Waterford FC (@WaterfordFCie) September 8, 2023
Cobh currently occupies third place with eight points in their last five including winning two games on the bounce following their 1-0 win against Athlone last Friday they will be hoping to make it three from three in this match and there is a part of me that fancies their chances.
Prediction
Waterford 2-2 Cobh
Best Bet
Cobh Ramblers or Draw 21/10
