Betting Preview - 26 June

A quick set of back to back games leaves little time for taking the WD-40 to teams showing rust on their return to work after the World Cup break.



The Drogs are one side that could do with a bit of regrouping; having lost their assistant manager during the break, they promptly came a cropper for a second time in this campaign when asked questions by a title rival. The Boynesider's inability to score against Shels and Cork in the league so far only underlines their vunerabilities as title challengers.

However Derry stuck three past the Vikings, and Drogheda ought to do likewise, but having only exceeded the one goal mark against Waterford you couldn't have much confidence in them.

Drogheda United 4/11
Draw 11/4
Dublin City 15/2



Sligo, fresh from beating Bohs and taking some valuable away points will have a spring in their step and plenty of confidence when Derry visit. Stephen Kenny's visiting team are in for a real battle here, but are unlikely to lose out in this battle of barber shop poles. Derry to take all three points.

Sligo Rovers 5/2
Draw 9/4
Derry City 10/11



Waterford are the whipping boys...any chance of passing that tag on to Bray was passed over when Wanderers - who had managed only 6 goals in 11 games - stuck three past them. Pete Mahon's plucky outfit ought to continue the misery here for the Blues.

U.C.D. 4/7
Draw 12/5
Waterford United 9/2
