Week 11
Credit:
There’s only one place to start this week and that is at Tallaght tomorrow night, where Shamrock Rovers (5/6) play Dundalk in the Setanta Cup final.
Although the Lilywhites will be in the ‘home’ dressing room, it is essentially a home game for the Hoops and I fancy them to get their hands on another piece of silverware.
Dundalk have been a bit meat and two veg in the league despite impressively booking their place in the final of the cross-border competition.
Rovers, on the other hand, have coasted into the showpiece and are clear at the top of the league too, so on that basis they get the nod here.
Because of that game, there are just three Premier Division ties this evening and I fancy Bray Wanderers (10/11) to beat UCD at home, despite the Students going on a decent run of form that has seen them win four of the last five.
Bohemians (8/15) should have enough to defeat lowly Galway United at Terryland Park, while I think a draw (21/10) at the pick of the First Division games would be a good punt, with Shelbourne hosting Cork City at Tolka Park.
€20 stake on this accum will earn you a magic €333.
