Fridays top tips 2

Shamrock Rovers continue to lead the way in the Irish Premier Division table but face a test of title mettle tonight on the road at Shelbourne.

Rovers are six points clear of Drogheda United and Bohemians but it's pretty congested in the top half, with just nine points separating first from sixth.

Shelbourne are sitting fifth and if they win tonight it would move them six points behind Shamrock Rovers so they have the chance to blow the title race wide open.

Shelbourne vs Shamrock Rovers top betting tips

Shamrock Rovers saw a run of five successive wins grind to a halt in their last game when they could only draw 0-0 at home to Galway.

They will want to get back to winning ways but it won't be easy against a Shelbourne side who have lost just one of their last five.

The two meetings so far this season have ended in draws so that suggests we'll see another tight game. A stalemate pays 21/10 at BoyleSports while the half-time draw looks a safer bet at 10/11.

BTTS has come up in both of their meetings this term so the evens on offer for each side to score in this game looks worth a punt.

St Patrick's Athletic vs Drogheda United

Drogheda United also have a tricky assignment on the road tonight as they look to keep the pressure on the leaders with a win at St Patrick's Athletic.

The Pat's sit fourth, just one point behind Drogheda and Bohemians, and are unbeaten at home so far this season, going nine without defeat.

Drogheda's away form isn't great, with no wins in their last five on the road, so that's why BoyleSports price the home win at just 8/11.

But United have drawn three of their last four in the league and this should be a tight game with little between the sides.

The half-time draw appeals again here at 11/10 while backing most goals to come after the break pays evens at BoyleSports.

Cork City vs Bohemians

Bohemians find themselves on the road as well but have the kindest fixture of the top three as they take on a Cork City side sitting second bottom.

Cork's form is woeful, going seven matches without a win, while Bohemians have won four of their last five to stay in touch at the top.

BoyleSports price another win at just 5/6 but you can boost the odds to 11/8 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

Midfielder Dale Rooney is on the penalties for Bohemians and has scored from the spot in two of their last three games. He's 10/3 for another goal tonight and a bit overpriced at 9/1 to grab the opener.
