Dosh risked on Derry one more time

Paul Cook's troops are the side no one wants to meet just now; but Wanderers have drawn the short straw. Without a home victory since their surprise defeat of Bohs on St. Patrick's weekend, they seem unlikely to end that record against the Bit o' Red. Paddy Powers 9/5 against Rovers looks overly generous, I will be partaking in that piece of value.

Bohemians are coming to town, fresh off the back of their 5-0 dismissal of Longford Town last week. It's 3rd v 4th, with only a point separating the sides, and victory vital to both as they attempt to reel in the top two. Joe Gamble IS available for the home side, who have been held scoreless by both Shamrock Rovers and Galway United in front of their own fans this season. The current BetChronicle price of 1.36/1 is big for Cork and should be taken for small money.

Tony Cousins' side were showing signs of putting some points on the board when they put a run of four games without defeat together recently. It all came crashing down at the RSC last weekend, and now the Premier Division newcomers have it all to do again. UCD are the value here, we've given Galway enough chances to win a game - anything around the 15/8 mark is a betting price for the Students.

Only Drogheda United have left the Drumcondra venue with any points this season; being as Gareth Cronin's side have managed just a single goal on their travels the home win is banker stuff for any multiple bets.

They lost five goals in what Stuart Byrne might describe as a 'despicable' display last time out. This was followed up with the loss of six hard earned points. With the future of Alan Matthews also in the balance, it's difficult to see the home side putting up any kind of resistance against the improving Candystripes, for whom Ben Roberts may start. Fenlon's men - particularly the bufoonery of his goalkeepers - have cost old El Punter VERY dearly this season. However, the even money on offer at Blue Square should be taken with gusto.

Alan Kirby's absence has coincided with a run of three games without a win for the league leaders. Drogheda's incredible run of ill fortune with injuries continues; they may need to consider bringing in cover for the physio at this rate. One suspects that the visitors will be happy to take a point; Pats desperately need to assert their perceived authority over tonight's opponents; for both the points and the psychological boost. Blue Square are an incomprehensible 11/5 against a Drogheda win. Place your bets folks, the price won't be there much longer.
