League of Ireland Premier Division: how we make our predictions
Where do our League of Ireland Premier Division (Ireland) predictions come from? We take odds from several bookmakers for each match, remove their margin and average them; that gives us 1, X and 2 probabilities and a clear tip. Shamrock Rovers are top of the competition after 36 matches.
- The tip is our pick of the most probable outcome. Where the favourite leads only by a small margin, double chance is what we recommend.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar splits our estimate into three parts: home win (1), draw (X) and away win (2).
- Fair odds are calculated as 1 divided by the probability. Odds from a bookmaker above the fair odds can point to value, but there is no guarantee.
For current standings go to the table, for completed matches the results, for remaining matchweeks the fixture list, for top scorers the scorers ranking and for booked players the cards ranking.
