League Of Ireland Premier Division Table

Here’s how the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division table looks after Round 33:

UCD v Cork City

When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 20th October

Where? UCD Bowl, Dublin

How To Watch? LOITV.ie

MATCH BETTING ODDS

UCD are 9/2, Cork City are 8/15 while the draw is 16/5.

Preview

UCD’s relegation to the First Division for next season is confirmed following two defeats in their last two games including four in their last five meaning the faith which had been seemingly nailed on all season is now the reality.

UCD last time out fell to a narrow 1-2 defeat against Bohemians despite having just 31% of possession and four shots to their opponent’s twenty-six shots. This game is a free-hit for The Students and it should be noted that four of their eleven-points this season have come against Cork City.

While Cork City aren’t confirmed for the relegation playoff (yet) they would need to win their final three games along with Sligo Rovers losing their final and a remarkable sixteen-goal swing in the goal difference to seriously overcome the odds.

However, the odds are a relegation playoff is imminent to save their Premier Division status and to end their disastrous season on a high, for now, it’s all about preparation for that.

Prediction

UCD 0-3 Cork City

Bohemians v St Patrick’s Athletic

When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 20th October

Where? Dalymount Park, Dublin

How To Watch? LOITV.ie

MATCH BETTING ODDS

Bohemians are 20/23, St Patrick’s Athletic are 14/5, and the draw is 5/2.

Preview

It’s been a brilliant season for Bohemians, following a sixth-place finish last season, they’re currently four in the Premier Division with three games to play only three points off second place and an FAI Cup Final to look forward to in the coming weeks.

European Football looks likely next season one way or another to combine that with their Leinster Senior Cup victory. That’s before you mention the positives off-the-field and it’s a club on the up.

They come into this fixture with eight points in their last five and two in their last two.

St Patrick’s Athletic following the departure of Tim Clancy and since Jon Daly has taken over their season has turned around substantially.

They’re also in the FAI Cup Final (against their opponents in this one) and with four games to play still harbour hopes of winning the Premier Division even if they trail Shamrock Rovers by six points. Interestingly this season both sides are tied with one win-a-piece with one draw taking place.

Prediction

Bohemians 1-1 St Patrick’s Athletic

Sligo Rovers v Dundalk

When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 20th October

Where? The Showgrounds, Sligo

How To Watch? LOITV.ie

MATCH BETTING ODDS

Sligo are 15/8, Dundalk are 7/5, and the draw is 11/5.

Preview

Following Sligo Rover’s 3-0 defeat against Cork City in Turners Cross a few weeks ago (a game which I attended) I genuinely could see Sligo being dragged into the relegation playoff race following an abject performance against a poor Cork City side.

However, to their credit, they’ve won two of their last three league games to put themselves on the brink of Premier Division safety with one point mathematically needed on Friday.

Dundalk still have outside hopes of clutching the final European Spot for next season but must win their final three league games if they’re to have any hopes of leapfrogging the likes of Shelbourne and Bohemians who are four and six points ahead of them respectively.

Ultimately their 1-0 loss against Shelbourne last time out seems like their season is about to filter out without as much of a whimper, changes will be needed next season on and off the pitch.

Prediction

Sligo Rovers 1-1 Dundalk

Best Bet

Sligo Rovers or Draw @ 8/15

Derry City v Shelbourne

When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 29th September

Where? The Brandywell, Derry

How To Watch? LOITV.ie

MATCH BETTING ODDS

Derry City are 6/10, Shelbourne are 5/1 while the draw is 13/5.

Preview

Derry City have floundered a real chance of winning the Premier Division this season they still trail Shamrock Rovers by four points with three games remaining with the champions-elect having one game in hand over them.

It really should’ve been a tighter title race had things gone the way they expected this season, eight-points from their last five games show they’re potentially running out of gas with a few games to play.

It’s been another positive season at Shelbourne last season finishing seventh and finishing runners-up in the FAI Cup they’re currently fifth and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility they finish as high as second if they win their remaining three games of the season.

Duff deserves immense credit for the job he is doing and with their partnership with Hull City, things look even more positive for next season at the club.

Prediction

Derry City 0-1 Shelbourne

Shelbourne @ 5/1

Shamrock Rovers vs. Drogheda

When? 8.00 pm, Friday 20th October

Where? Tallaght Stadium, Dublin

How To Watch? RTÉ 2

MATCH BETTING ODDS

Shamrock Rovers are 2/7, Drogheda are 9/1 and the draw is 4/1.

Preview

Shamrock Rovers need seven points from their remaining four league games to secure their fourth Premier Division victory in a row and while they’ve flattered to deceive this season at times nobody can question their level of dominance in the league these last few seasons.

Their 1-0 win against Shelbourne last time out means they’ve accumulated eleven points in their last five games, although they do face their bogey team in Drogheda who have taken seven points off them from three games this season.

Drogheda is excited about the FAI Cup at the Quarter-Final stage, their Premier Division status for another season is secured and with their new-found American investment coming, they certainly look like a club on the up along with a brilliant young manager in Kevin Doherty.

Drogheda have nothing to play for in this one which could give Rovers the edge but they’ve performed consistently in this fixture throughout the season so anything can happen.

Prediction

Shamrock Rovers 2-1 Drogheda

Best Bet

Drogheda +2 @ 20/21
