Another one of those fast turn around match weekends in the LOI, and for once I managed to catch it.
A look back at Fridays fixtures and its 3 predictions out of 5, I should have stayed with the system view on St. Pats.
The running total is 30 out of 74 predictions over the season so far.
Now for matchday 17.
Drogheda (17%) vs Dundalk (61%)
The Probability of a Draw between Drogheda and Dundalk is 20%
Drogheda (1.2xG) vs Dundalk (1.32xG)
A local derby with a view that Dundalk will take the spoils this time.
St. Patricks (65%) vs Finn Harps (12%)
The Probability of a Draw between St. Patricks and Finn Harps is 22%
St. Patricks (1.64xG) vs Finn Harps (1.22xG)
Looking like a St. Pats win here
Derry City (41%) vs Sligo Rovers (31%)
The Probability of a Draw between Derry City and Sligo Rovers is 28%
Derry City (1.07xG) vs Sligo Rovers (1.25xG)
The system prediction are not really conclusive here and so I’ll sit on the fence and call a draw here.
Bohemians (27%) vs Shamrock Rovers (44%)
The Probability of a Draw between Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers is 29%
Bohemians (1.61xG) vs Shamrock Rovers (1.47xG)
Another Dublin derby and in this case looks like a narrow Shamrock Rovers win, my gut says draw, but will stay with the Rovers win this time.
Longford (27%) vs Waterford (48%)
The Probability of a Draw between Longford and Waterford is 25%
Longford (0.67xG) vs Waterford (0.66xG)
Talk about a 6 pointer, with the spoils going to the Blues.
