Bohemians v Drogheda United
When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 4th August
Where? Dalymount Park, Dublin
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
Match Betting Odds
Bohemians are 4/6, Drogheda United are 15/4 while the draw is 13/5.
Preview
Bohemians overcame their bogey team bottom-placed UCD last Friday Night with a 2-0 home victory which means they have two wins, two draws and only one defeat in their last five league matches.
That means the club currently find themselves in fourth place only one point behind Derry City and St Patrick’s Athletic. Victory on Friday could put them into second place and two points behind Shamrock Rovers.

Drogheda claimed an inspirational point in the relegation race last weekend coming from 2-0 behind against Sligo Rovers to draw 2-2 at home. This draw makes it three draws one win and one defeat in their last five league matches.
They are six points clear of Cork City and one behind Sligo Rovers, a point for them on Friday could be enough for them to leapfrog Sligo Rovers.

Sligo Rovers v St Patrick’s Athletic
When? 7.45 pm, Friday 4th August
Where? The Showgrounds, Sligo
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Sligo Rovers are 2/1, St Patrick’s Athletic are 5/4, while the draw is 12/5.
Preview
Sligo Rovers have two wins, two defeats and a draw in their last five league matches, however, that draw last weekend came following a Drogheda comeback when they had a 2-0 lead which would’ve been huge for them in the relegation race.
All is not right at Sligo and unless they pick up at least a point here they could find themselves leapfrogged by Drogheda albeit seven points clear of Cork City.

St Patrick’s Athletic haven’t appeared in the league in a month since their 1-1 draw against Cork City on the 7th of July. Since then they were knocked out of Europe 5-3 on aggregate by Diddeleng, narrowly avoided a first-round FAI Cup exit to Longford with a 1-2 win and lost in a friendly to Cliftonville 0-1.
Could this be a European hangover, or will they return to winning ways? Victory would put them just a point behind Shamrock Rovers.
Prediction
Sligo Rovers 1-2 St Patrick’s Athletic
Best Bet: St Patrick’s Athletic – Win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 @ 12/5

UCD v Derry City
When? 3.00 pm, Sunday, 6th August
Where? UCD Bowl Park, Dublin
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
UCD are 16/1, Derry City are 1/6 while the draw is 11/2.
Preview
UCD remain bottom of the table with nine points coming from their opening twenty-five matches with four defeats and one win in their last five games the win coming against Sligo Rovers.
Last time out they were unable to get a result against Bohemians who they usually play well against eventually losing out 2-0. UCD look destined for relegation and I’m unsure how many points they will even pick up for the rest of the season

Derry City will play this match on the back of their Thursday European Fixture in Kuopio Finland and will want to avoid a hangover from Europe against UCD. Derry City have overall been in decent form in recent weeks qualifying from the Europa Conference League first qualifying round and winning their FAI First Round fixture against Athlone 3-0.
In the league they have two wins, two draws and a defeat, victory on Sunday could bring them to second place if other results go their way.

Dundalk v Shelbourne
When? 5.00 pm, Sunday, 4th August
Where? Oriel Park, Dundalk
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Dundalk City are 23/20, Shelbourne are 21/10, and the draw is 12/5.
Preview
Before this match, Dundalk will be looking to overcome their two-goal deficit in Europe to KA in Oriel Park Thursday Night. Following that match no matter the result it will be a quick turn-around for the club who play a tough Shelbourne side on Sunday.
Dundalk might be starting to finally come to the boil with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five league games which puts them fifth but only four behind St Patrick’s Athletic in second place. The return of Daryl Horgan to the club could be a game-changing transfer too.
🚨 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀…
🤩 We couldn’t wait ’til morning….
Dundalk FC is absolutely delighted to announce that Daryl Horgan has returned to the club.
Stay tuned to our website and social channels on Wednesday for all the latest reaction to Daryl’s return.#HorgsIsHome pic.twitter.com/AWi1VzPDpg

Shelbourne free from the strain of European Football will be looking to capitalise on a tired Dundalk side and build on their two wins, two draws and one defeat record in their last five league matches.
Despite Dundalk’s new-found form a Shelbourne win on Sunday would put them above them on the table up to fourth and well within a European Race.

Shamrock Rovers v Cork City
When? 6.00 pm, Sunday 4th August
Where? Tallaght Stadium, Dublin
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Shamrock Rovers are 2/5, Cork City are 6/1, and the draw is 16/5.
Preview
Shamrock Rovers will come into this following their European tie with Ferencvárosi TC who take a 4-0 lead against the Dublin outfit their elimination from the Europa Conference League is all but a formality at this stage.
It will be interesting to see whether he rotates heavily in this fixture with Sunday in mind. Shamrock Rovers have been inconsistent in the league of late with two draws, two wins and a defeat but remain to have a four-point lead at the top of the table.

Cork City are in dreary form and look certainties for the relegation playoff with three defeats and two draws in their last five league games. That run of form puts them six points behind Drogheda and seven behind Sligo Rovers and in the form they are in I struggle to see where they can make up that points gap.
They performed well in this fixture earlier in the season though and a repeat result would be very much welcomed by Cork City fans.
