Derry City are 11/8 favourites.
The draw is 11/5.
Bohemians have arguably begun to falter following their flying early season form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches. But don’t let that fool you, Declan Devine is doing a fantastic job and if they win on Friday, they will remain top of the table for at least another week.
Derry City last time out won 0-1 against Drogheda to make it three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five matches. Many tipped Derry to be title contenders at the start of the season and with them currently in third place on 25-points, they are only two points behind Shamrock Rovers in second and three points behind Bohemians in first.
A win for Derry could bring them to the summit of the table if results went their way.

That being said, Cork City were less than impressive in the second half and played right into St Patrick’s Athletics' hands, but the likes of Conor Carty and Chris Forrester proved on the night there is still quality in the side.
With three defeats and two wins in their last five matches, they currently occupy sixth on the table but know a win on Friday could lift them as high as fourth.

Drogheda comes into this match following their 0-1 home defeat against Derry last Friday Night which means they have three defeats and two draws in their last five league matches, a far cry from their early season form.
No matter the result on Friday, Drogheda will remain in eighth position but will want to win to ensure the gap between themselves and those above them doesn’t increase while the gap below them at a minimum stays the same.
Two out-of-form and unreliable sides - think this one screams a draw.

Cork City are 10/3 underdogs.
The draw is 13/5.
The performances of Ryan O’Kane in particular have impressed in recent weeks. A win for Dundalk on Friday could bring them up to third and back in European Contention which shows how tightly packed the league is this season.

Cork City are in dismal form with five defeats in their last five matches. Their last victory came on the 10th of April in a home game against Dundalk. Things were bad for Cork then, but things have gotten even worse since Colin Healy handed in his resignation in the lead-up to their 2-3 defeat against St Patrick’s Athletic last Friday Night.
Former Sligo Rovers manager Liam Buckley has been announced as the new Sporting Director and is currently in interim charge along with some of the Cork City staff. A win for Cork City on Friday ensures they’d stay ahead of UCD on points.

Shelbourne are 3/1 underdogs.
The draw is 11/5.
A win for Sligo on Saturday could bring them as high as fourth on the table and well in contention for a European place given how close the league is.
Shelbourne comes into this match following their narrow 1-0 victory over UCD on Friday Night meaning they have two wins and three draws in their last five matches. Notoriously tough to beat, their ten goals conceded is the joint-best defensive record with Derry City while their thirteen goals in attack is only better than two teams, Drogheda and UCD.
Nevertheless, as they currently occupy fourth on the table it is hard to be too critical of this Shels side and they know a victory on Saturday could bring them as high as fourth but arguably into early season title contention.
