Monday's League of Ireland Premier predictions including Derry City vs. Sligo Rovers

Derry vs. Sligo (Monday, 7.15pm)

Title challengers Derry City will hope to win their game in hand on leaders Shelbourne and draw level on points with them when they host Sligo Rovers at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Monday in the League of Ireland.

The home team have accumulated 51 points from 32 games and are in third place with just four games remaining in the league season, while the visitors are sixth with 47 points after 32 matchweeks and could end Monday night four points behind Shelbourne.

We say: Derry City 2-1 Sligo Rovers

While Derry have struggled for consistency in recent matches, they have at least been difficult to beat at home.

When factoring in Sligo Rovers' poor record away from home, it would not be surprising if the hosts emerged as narrow victors.

Bohemians vs. St Patrick's (Monday, 7.45pm)

Bohemians will be looking to move seven points clear of the relegation playoff spot when they host St Patrick's Athletic at Dalymount Park on Monday in the League of Ireland.

The hosts are third last with 37 points after 32 games and are one position below ninth-placed Drogheda United, while the away team are in fifth place with 47 points and could end Monday four points behind first-placed Shelbourne with just three games remaining.

We say: Bohemians 1-3 St Patrick's Athletic

Given the exceptional form of St Patrick's Athletic, it is difficult to see how Bohemians can avoid defeat.

Additionally, considering the hosts have been poor at home in recent times, it would not be surprising if they conceded multiple goals on Monday night.
