LOI Matchday 31 Predictions

October 15th, 2021

Will this system ever get a 5 out of 5, there’s only 6 more match days to find out. As for look back to the previous predictions for match day 29 and the system (not me any more) got 3 out of 5.

Running total is 61 correct predictions out of 134 predictions made so far this season in the LOI. 

So on to match day 31 and first up a blockbuster of a match as the Blues take on Finn Harps.

Waterford (55%) vs Finn Harps (19%)
The Probability of a Draw between Waterford and Finn Harps is 25%

Waterford (0.91xG) vs Finn Harps (1.03xG)

And the system is predicting a Blues win, so will take that.

Bohemians (26%) vs Dundalk (47%)
The Probability of a Draw between Bohemians and Dundalk is 26%

Bohemians (1.87xG) vs Dundalk (1.34xG)

I always thought it was the Blues trying to chase down the Town, but it looks like if Dundalk can do a job on the Bohs this weekend then things could be very different. The system in general is pointing to Dundalk win, that will surely mix things up in the mid-table, although there are some pointers towards a Bohs win and so I’ll go for Bohs.

Derry City (37%) vs St. Patricks (35%)
The Probability of a Draw between Derry City and St. Patricks is 27%

Derry City (1.41xG) vs St. Patricks (1.33xG)

Looks like a draw, will call a draw.

Drogheda (56%) vs Longford (20%)
The Probability of a Draw between Drogheda and Longford is 23%

Drogheda (1.15xG) vs Longford (0.79xG)

Poor olde Longford, just not their year and for this match day 31 it doesn’t look good, a win for Drogheda is predicted.

Shamrock Rovers (54%) vs Sligo Rovers (19%)
The Probability of a Draw between Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers is 26%

Shamrock Rovers (1.67xG) vs Sligo Rovers (1.31xG)

A busy week for Shamrock Rovers, and it starts with a clash of the rovers, with the prediction swinging towards, Shamrock Rovers … surprise surprise.
