Daily Acca Tips: A League of Ireland special

Four tips from Ireland

It’s a quiet night of football across the UK and Europe tonight but the Irish are here to save the Daily Acca Tips column.

The League of Ireland Premier Division has a host of intriguing fixtures to get stuck into. And the Coral News Team picks out four of the best bets.

Waterford to beat Derry City – 21/20

It’s 3rd v 4th tonight as Waterford United host Derry on the South Coast. Waterford have been a bit of a surprise package this season, and have lost just once at home all season.

Kenny Shiels’ Derry side are a decent outfit but the Candystripes are vulnerable away from the Brandywell.

The Ulster club have lost five of their nine games on the road. Waterford have lost just once on the Regional Sports Centre, and already beaten Dundalk and Cork City there. They should be too strong for Derry this evening.

Cork to beat St.Patrick’s Athletic – 6/5

Pats were on a lovely little run of four wins in a row until a humbling 3-0 away to Shamrock Rovers. And it could be about to get worse at champions Cork City rock up to Richmond Park.

John Caulfield’s side continue to slug it out at the top of the table with Dundalk. And the Leesiders will be looking at Pats as a decent opportunity to bag maximum points.

In Pats’ defence, they have only been beaten in Inchicore once all season. But that was to Cork at the very start of the campaign. The Rebel Army are arguably the most solid side in the league and should brush past Saints tonight.
