Hello Scorpio. The team news for Galway United is not very good with this game. We are very short up front with Derek Glynn now ruled out. We didnt get beaten by more than one goal very often last year so i dont know how i would feel about backing st pats on the handicap though.
There is not really anything that i fancy in the premier division. The season still hasnt settled down so im going to take a watching brief until a few more rounds have been played. I would have a slight leaning towards Sligo Rovers and UCD on Asian Handicaps. Bohemians are missing a few and Sligo Rovers are hard to beat in Sligo especially seen as when Drogheda drew there last week they said it was like playing on a ploughed field. I had a look at under 2.5 for that game but that option is horrible value. UCD had a good win over Bray last week and they always seem to come up with a decent team no matter who they lose in the summer.
In the first division i would have preferences for Shelbourne to beat Monaghan. The price at
coral during the week of 5/4 was very decent but it is gone now and prices are down around evens. Shels will be challenging this year while monaghan are always around the 2 or 3 last position in this division. Mons were well beaten in Dundalk last week 3-0 while Shels got their first win of the season 3-1 in Kildare. I can see the odds on Shels to win this fixture when it comes round again later in the season being about 4/5.
Waterford are another team i think should win away when they play against Athlone. Athlone apparently were shambolic in their first game of the season last week losing 2-0 at Sporting Fingal. Waterford were poor in the premier division last year but they have managed to keep most of the team together and they have started well and by all accounts should have beaten Longford last week but were caught by a late goal.
The more that Sporting Fingals price edges up the more i would be tempted to back them. I see they are @2.66 on
betfair at the moment while still being lower than evens in some bookies. They have signed some good league of ireland players and limerick are nothing to write home about. One of my friends works with one of the limerick 37 players who told him that their preseason prepartion was poor.
