Date | Home | Away | Prediction | Key Betting Market | Rationale |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
June 14 | Cork City | Bray Wanderers | Cork City Win | -1 Asian HC, Over 2.5 Goals | Cork’s relentless attack at home (avg. 2.41 goals/game), Bray’s leaky away defense. Expect a 3-1 or 2-0 scoreline. |
June 14 | Longford Town | Waterford FC | Waterford Win | Waterford Win & Under 3.5 | Longford’s goal drought (0.6 goals/game), Waterford solid at the back. Value on the away side to control the game. |
June 14 | Treaty United | Wexford FC | Draw | BTTS, Over 2.5 Goals | Treaty potent at home but Wexford attacking better on the road, likely end-to-end clash with goals at both ends. |
June 14 | Galway United | Kerry FC | Galway Win (Big) | Galway -1.5 HC, First Half Over 1.5 | Kerry’s porous defense (conceding 2.5+ per game), Galway clicking into gear. Potential for a rout. |
