League Of Ireland: Elite Betting Advice 08/05

@Makool is the League Of Ireland betting correspondent forhttp://www.scottishfootballtips.com and boosts an enviable return on investment this season. Following on from last week’s 13/1 correct score prediction he has another one for us to play with at small stakes.

It’s a near full compliment of games in the League Of Ireland although the league’s most elite side, Dundalk, are not playing. The biggest encounter is Saint Patricks Athletic v Shamrock Rovers and that is one best avoided as it could go either way.

The place to go for value is Turners Cross where Cork City entertain a disappointing Sligo Rovers. Turners Cross is a fortress for Cork (except when Dundalk visit) and the Dundalk game excepted their results this season read 5-0, 2-0, 3-0, 2-0. Obviously a Cork win without conceding should be considered but I think there is good value in the handicap market where you can back Cork -1 at a price of 2.8 with Ladbrokes.

Sligo have managed just one win all season and the two times they have travelled to top sides (Pats, Dundalk) they have lost 3-0. I think there is a good chance of a similiar result here tonight so I am having a small punt (it is a punt) on the correct score of 3-0 to Cork that pays 11/1 with Paddy Power.

Recommended bets:

Cork City -1 @ 2.8 with Ladbrokes. (0.75 pts)

Cork City win 3-0 @ 11/1 with Paddy Power. (0.2 pts)
