football handicap betting tips

There's a one-day break at the Club World Cup before the knockout stages get underway but we have some League of Ireland football to fill the void tonight.

Bohemians made the title race interesting by beating leaders Shamrock Rovers on Monday and have two games in hand as they look to eat into a nine-point deficit.

They now host struggling Sligo Rovers and will be confident of banking three precious points to keep the pressure on at the top, with Shamrock back in action at home to Waterford.

Bohemians vs Sligo Rovers top betting tips

Sligo sit second bottom of the 10-team table and looked doomed to a relegation play-off at best as they trail eighth-placed Waterford by nine points.

Rovers have picked up a bit of form of late, with two wins in their last three outings, but BoyleSports still make them 11/2 outsiders tonight.

That price is more down to the form of Bohemians, who have won nine of their last 12 and banked maximum points in their last three at home.

The title chasers are 4/11 favourites but backing them at -1 in the handicap boosts the odds to 21/20 at BoyleSports. That bet has landed in two of the last three meetings, which have all been won by Bohemians.

Midfielder Dale Rooney has four goals from his last six outings for Bohemians and he's 15/8 to add to that tally tonight.

Shamrock Rovers vs Waterford

It will be interesting to see how Shamrock Rovers respond to that defeat by Bohemians when they return to action at home to Waterford.

The leaders had been on an 11-game unbeaten run prior to Monday night and are still heavy favourites for the title with those points on the board.

BoyleSports price them at 4/11 to get back on track tonight against a Waterford side who have won just one of their last six matches.

Wateford have also lost their last four against Shamrock, with the two defeats this season coming by a two-goal margin. That makes Shamrock -1 worth a look in the handicap tonight at 11/10 while backing the leaders to be winning at half-time and full-time is the same price at BoyleSports.

Derry City v Drogheda United

Derry City currently sit fourth in the table, 10 points behind Shamrock Rovers, but can't be ruled out of a title push as they also have two games in hand.

They can jump into third tonight with a win over a Drogheda United side who are just one point above them and BoyleSports make City 3/4 favourites with home advantage.

Derry's form at Brandywell hasn't been great though, with just five wins in their 10 games, and Drogheda won 3-1 when they came calling earlier in the season.

BTTS has landed in the last six meetings of these sides, so that bet appeals tonight at 11/10 with BoyleSports.

There's not much between these teams so it should be a tight one and the half-time draw also looks good at 10/11 with the same firm.

    BTTS 10-11 bet365 🇮🇪…NAP…..

    Not going to roll out Cork’s goal stats yet again but suffice to say I’ve backed them BTTS many times this season and it’s only Bohemians they have problems scoring against despite being rock bottom.

    St Patrick’s have a nice spread of scoring and conceding (27-27 in their 23 games) and the reverse fixture ended 3-2 to st Patrick’s

    Ronaldos new 2yr contract….£500k per day for a lad that’s been past it for the best part of 5yrs now and a passenger in that Portugal team. Mental

      If they are willing to pay that then fair play to Ronaldo, he scored an important goal for Portugal if my memory serves me correct so not quite past it. Giving to charities and good causes wouldn’t harm would it on them wages.
