St Patrick’s Athletic v Dundalk
When? 7.45 pm, Friday 22nd September
Where? Richmond Park, Dublin
How To Watch? Virgin Media Two
MATCH BETTING ODDS
St Patrick’s Athletic are 21/20, Dundalk are 12/5, and the draw is 12/5.
Preview
St Patrick’s Athletic are into an FAI Cup Semi-Final following their 1-2 comeback victory over Finn Harps last weekend.
Their last time out in the league was a 2-1 defeat to Shelbourne which means despite their game in hand, the league title challenge seems over for another year. That is unless they can put up a run of form and results go their way.

Dundalk on the other hand were embarrassed 4-0 in the FAI Cup Quarter-Final last weekend against First Division front-runners Galway United.
This defeat compounded misery on the Dundalk faithful following a stop-start season under Stephen O’Donnell with many now questioning his position at the club. They need a win here to keep their faint European hopes alive.

Shelbourne v Cork City
When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 22nd September
Where? Tolka Park, Shelbourne
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Shelbourne are 6/10, Cork City are 9/2, and the draw is 13/5.
Preview
Following a bye week for Shelbourne last week where they beat Longford 5-0 in a friendly, the club returned to league action this weekend.
Shelbourne have eleven points in their last five league matches and are currently also on a two-game winning streak as Damien Duff’s side looks towards earning themselves a European spot in another positive season. If they avoid defeat here and Bohemians lose they’ll go up to fourth.
Cork City should be coming into this game high on confidence following their late 2-1 comeback victory against Wexford in the FAI Cup Quarter-Final last Friday Night.
In the league, they have four points in their last three league games. City will need to continue in that vein of form for the remainder of the season if they’re to stand any chance of catching Sligo Rovers and avoiding a relegation playoff spot.
What a way to get your first goal for City 👀

Drogheda v Bohemians
When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 22nd September
Where? Weaver Park, Drogheda
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Drogheda are 11/4, Bohemians are 20/23, and the draw is 13/5.
Preview
Drogheda suffered FAI Cup Quarter-Final heartbreak at the hands of the same opposition last week after drawing the game back level in the 50th minute through Ryan Brennan.
The in-form Jonathan Afolabi quickly regained the lead for Bohemians before a late goal sealed their 1-3 exit from the cup for another year. Now Drogheda need to switch focus and ensure they finish the job and confirm Premier Division safety in the coming weeks.
It’s been a flying season for Bohemians despite their title challenge fall-off. They’re into an FAI Cup Semi-Final and won the Leinster Senior Cup Final 5-0 against Usher Celtic during the week.
There is still plenty to play for though. With the form of Shelbourne specifically, an automatic European spot is far from a guarantee. Bohs will need a point here to stay fourth.
Prediction
Drogheda 2-1 Bohemians
Best Bet
Drogheda 11/4

UCD v Shamrock Rovers
When? 7.45 pm, Friday 22nd September
Where? UCD Bowl, Dublin
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
UCD are 25/1, Shamrock Rovers are 1/11 and the draw is 17/2.
Preview
UCD have one point in their last five games and will be back in the First Division to rebuild again next season. Even a shock victory in this game mightn’t even be enough to postpone their relegation for another week. If Cork City win The Students are relegated. This is a free hit for them as nobody expects anything from them.

Shamrock Rovers are four points clear at the top of the table with six games remaining to complete their fourth league title win in a row.
A late Graham Burke penalty against Derry City last weekend made sure they kept their stranglehold on the league. Five wins and they’re champions. This should be a formality.
📺 Friday night's Live TV game v @derrycityfc on @VMSportIE had a total audience reach of over 300k people and a peak audience of 106k. An exciting game for all who tuned in, building on the improved League TV coverage in 2023. More to come between now and the end of the season👍 pic.twitter.com/OXJ6cf1Ho4

Sligo Rovers v Derry City
When? 7.45 pm, Friday, 22nd September
Where? The Showgrounds, Sligo
How To Watch? LOITV.ie
MATCH BETTING ODDS
Sligo Rovers are 3/1, Derry City are 4/5 while the draw is 13/5.
Preview
Sligo Rovers earned a crucial 2-0 win over UCD last weekend. Rovers are six points ahead of Cork City in the relegation battle.
It’s difficult to see where they get points as the season comes to a close and if Cork City continue their run of form they could be in trouble.
So close to a first Club goal for Pedro Martelo on Saturday night 😤
He will go again this Friday against Derry City at home 🔴⚪ pic.twitter.com/ixf8UyKwjN
— Sligo Rovers (@sligorovers) September 18, 2023
Derry City have eleven points in their last five league games, as they look to put the pressure on Shamrock Rovers at the top of the table.
They will be disappointed following their 1-1 draw against the same opposition last weekend. Had the Candystripes held onto their lead the gap at the top would be a sole point with only six games remaining.
A massive game in Sligo this Friday night at both ends of the table ✊
