The top four are all in action in Ireland on Friday night but it might not be all plain sailing for the teams near the top.
Dundalk look the most certain to win, up against bottom side UCD. The Lillywhite's juggernaut was stalled by Shlelbourne last week when they were held to a 0-0 draw, the first time they'd dropped points in six matches.
They've banged in 25 goals in their last seven meetings with UCD so no surprise to see them as short as 1/4 to win. But they've had to eke out a few 1-0 wins recently and their solid defence has given them a platform for what could yet be a title challenge. 14 goals conceded is the joint lowest in the league so the even money on a home win to nil appeals considering UCD have the lowest goals tally in the division with just 12 in 20.
League leaders Shamrock Rovers are 2/5 to win away at second-bottom Finn Harps. Defeats to Dogheda and Dundalk have brought a doze of reality to Rovers but they've responded well to win against rivals Bohemians and fellow Dubliners St Pats to open up a 10-point gap at the top. The short price won't be for everyone but a Rovers win with Over 2.5 goals in the game at 5/4 is a bet that's landed in the last three meetings between the sides.
A Dundalk & Shamrock Rovers Double should landbut it's a bit short to be putting up as a Super Single at 3/4.
Third placed St Patricks could be vulnerable at a very short looking 4/9. They've been a model of inconsistency lately (LWDDLWLWDL) and welcome a Drogheda side who are unbeaten in their last five.
It's sixth v third at Dalymount as Bohemians welcome Derry City to the capital. Bohs came off second best in the Dublin Derby last weekend so must pick themselves up against a Derry side who boast the best away form in the top flight. They've tasted defeat away from home just twice this season and have already won at Bohemians, notching a 2-1 back in April when a 94th minute Akintunde goal nicked the points.
Both teams have scored in the last seven meetings and a repeat, in what should be a tight game, is 4/5.

Both at bet365……
Del Valle low scoring team and don’t concede many at home.
Lanus after a slow start to the season have been scoring regularly away recently namely at Barcelona who are top of del Valle’s league in Ecuador and at River plate and Boca juniors in their native Argentina.
Del Valle dropped from Copa libertidores into this Copa sudamerica .
Del Valle are 8-15 to win but I think it could be close
Prediction 1-1

What odds geraint Thomas 🏴 to crash radu ??.
He always seems to find trouble in the tour.
Didn’t find enething about GT , but yeah always has problems. Something hilarious or not – A rider to drop the Trophy during ceremony @ 100 😀, in Giro was a thing like that – Gyrmai when he opened the Champagne the cork hit him directly in the eye 😀 and abandoned the race 🤦♂️
Hi Radu…I asked yesterday, but don’t think you were on the site. Do you have any tips for winner of the TDF?
Cheers mate.
🙋♂️ KF, the odds are right as it is. Covid 19 will be a big factor in long term stakes wich could do serios problems to the teams. IF nothing goes wrong i see Roglic în Top 3, but the odds are low @ 1.80 and Jumbo-Visma have Vingegaard as second to none in the team. The Dane could win TdF. Pogacar have an advantages because he can win without any help from his team mates. Two bets that a like Gaudu to win King of The Mountains @ 15.00 , he will be in the breakaways and have chances to win stages, likewise a general contender could win this T-shirt. Team INEOS to win . Teams competition – they don’t have a special one, Bernal couldn’t make it, and have a strong team, they have riders wich could win any kind of stages and be in the breakaways most of the time @ 3.50. 🍻
Hey Radu, what are your arguments for Mikkel Bjerg to end in top 10?
Cheers for the input Radu. Was already on Vingegaard, but will defo have a go at Gaudu and INEOS team bet. Cheers mate and GL with your bets
No joy last night
Well done all winners
The F1 is in Silverstone this weekend. Does anyone on here enjoy a punt on the F1?
PaddyPower has a “free” £5 ACCA on the F1 under promotions tab (it’s a “bet £5, get your money back as CASH if it loses” promo)
Mugs game betting on friendlies but Burton are 3/1 to beat Hibs today in a neutral Portuguese venue, btts 6/10, 6/1 the combo on Paddy. Hibs had a comfy 2-0 win against Hartlepool a few days ago but Burton will be tougher opposition with Hibs still bedding in a lot of new signings. Small stakes. 11am kick off
Speaking of Hibs I’ll be backing goals in their games whilst Johnson is there. Being a Sunderland fan we played some of our best attacking football in years under him. He cannot organise a defence though; Btts and over 2.5 goals will be a regular bet on my Saturday coupon.
Btts came in ✅but Hibs ran out comfy 4-2 winners ❌
Good call APC – one to watch
