Alan Cawley returns to give you the inside track for another round of League of Ireland fixtures. Three of his best bets flew into the top corner last week and he’s looking to go even bigger this time around.

Waterford face Bohemians in the opening game of the weekend at 5.45pm on Friday before Drogheda head to Derry City at 7.45pm. On Saturday we’ve got Dundalk v St Pats, Shamrock Rovers v Longford and Sligo Rovers against Finn Harps all at 6pm.

St Pats and Finn Harps are both tied at the top on 10 points after four games with three wins and a draw apiece. Derry are still looking for their first point at the other end of the table.

But where’s the value this weekend? Sit back because Alan’s here to guide you through all five games with a selection for each match.
