Friday's League of Ireland Premier predictions including Waterford United vs. Shamrock Rovers

Drogheda vs. Bohemians (Friday, 7.45pm)

A key battle at the bottom end of the League of Ireland Premier Division table will take place at United Park on Friday, as Drogheda United entertain Bohemians.

The hosts remain at the foot of the division but narrowed the gap to ninth-placed Dundalk and their eighth-placed visitors with a crucial victory last time out.

We say: Drogheda United 2-1 Bohemians

Friday's meeting promises to be a hard-fought one with plenty on the line at the bottom end of Ireland's top flight.

With renewed confidence from their return to winning ways last time out, we back the basement side to narrow the gap further with another triumph on home turf.

Dundalk vs. Galway United (Friday, 7.45pm)

Two teams with opposing ambitions do battle on Friday when Dundalk host Galway United at Oriel Park in the League of Ireland Premier division.

The hosts are languishing in the relegation playoff spot, while the visitors are in sixth and aiming to finish in the European places by the end of the campaign.

We say: Dundalk 0-1 Galway United

Despite Galway United's recent decline, they enter this game against relegation-battling Dundalk as the favourites to take all three points, and we expect exactly that with a win for the visitors.

Waterford vs. Shamrock (Friday, 7.45pm)

Gameweek 26 in the League of Ireland Premier Division will see Waterford United taking on Shamrock Rovers at the Waterford Regional Sports Centre on Friday evening.

The hosts are currently in third place in the league standings with 37 points after 25 matches, while the visitors are three points and two places behind them.

We say: Waterford United 1-1 Shamrock Rovers

This match will mark Shamrock Rovers' fifth game in the space of 16 days and it will not get any easier for them with their Europa League qualifier against Celje on the horizon.

Bradley may therefore be forced to rest a few of his first-team stars here, and we feel that the hosts will take advantage of that fact by securing a share of the spoils in this one.
