⚽ Bet 1: FC Zurich vs FC Sion

Expert: Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The Swiss Super League returns with FC Zurich facing FC Sion, and all signs point toward goals – with the home side favoured to prevail in an open affair. Zurich have enjoyed a promising pre-season, securing five victories from six matches, and scoring 13 times in that span. Mitchell van der Gaag’s side are clearly sharpening their attacking identity, and a return to Letzigrund should give them the confidence to assert control.

While Zurich’s form suggests they’re ready to challenge again, their defence remains a work in progress. A 3-0 defeat to SSV Ulm in their final warm-up exposed gaps at the back – the kind of errors that a side like Sion could exploit. Especially considering Zurich have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last eight league games against Sion.

Sion, for their part, showed flashes of improvement late in pre-season with a 3-0 win over Annecy but continue to suffer from frailty away from home. They conceded 32 goals on the road last term and managed just three away victories across the entire campaign.

New attacking options like Anton Miranchuk and Rilind Nivokazi may provide some spark, and given Zurich’s shaky defensive moments, a goal for the visitors is likely. However, Zurich’s momentum, squad upgrades and home advantage make them strong favourites to take the points.

Best bet – FC Zurich to win & Both Teams to Score

⚽ Bet 2: Cork City vs Sligo Rovers

Expert: Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Two of the league’s strugglers meet at Turners Cross, but it’s Sligo Rovers who look far more likely to come out on top. Cork City, rooted to the foot of the League of Ireland Premier Division, have managed just two victories all season and haven’t tasted league success since April.

Sligo, on the other hand, appear to be gathering some momentum. They’ve secured back-to-back victories over Derry City and Dundalk — two credible sides — and look more cohesive in both boxes.

The hosts are not only dealing with a crisis in form, but a weakened squad too. Injuries to Ruairi Keating, Greg Bolger, and Conor Drinan leave Cork short of leaders. Sligo boast in-form forward Owen Elding, who has already scored eight times, and looks sharp heading into this fixture.

With Cork winless in six and Sligo’s counter-attacking style well-suited to away fixtures, the visitors have every chance of piling further misery on their hosts.

Best bet – Sligo Rovers to win

⚽ Bet 3: Derry City vs Bohemians

Expert: Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Derry City suffered a rare setback in their last league outing, falling to Sligo, but it’s that very defeat that makes this tip even more compelling. Tiernan Lynch’s side are known for their response after poor results and, with Bohemians arriving in strong form, this match is perfectly poised.

At the Ryan McBride Brandywell, Derry have been a force. They’ve collected 40 points across 24 games this season and dominated in their 5-1 cup demolition of Treaty United. Star man Liam Boyce continues to lead the line expertly, while Michael Duffy adds flair and finishing from midfield.

Bohemians, while sitting above Derry in the standings, have not been as convincing on the road. Their last defeat came against Waterford, and although they did edge the reverse fixture in May, Derry have won three of the last five meetings between the sides.

With the home fans roaring and a point to prove, Derry should come out on top.

Best bet – Derry City to win

⚽ Bet 4: Galway United vs Waterford United

Expert: John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Waterford United come into this one riding high after a 5-1 FAI Cup win and a solid 2-0 league victory over Cork City. With Padraig Amond in red-hot form — 12 goals already — and a functional midfield led by Conan Noonan, the Blues appear to be building some consistency.

Galway United, by contrast, are faltering. They’ve lost three of their last four league games and haven’t won in the top flight since June. Offensively, they’ve been blunt, with just 27 goals in 24 games, while they’re also missing key players such as Moses Dyer and Jimmy Keohane.

The hosts have a better home record than their league position suggests, but Waterford’s ability to strike early and control possession has been notable in recent weeks. With Galway continuing to underperform, especially in the final third, this feels like another opportunity for Waterford to claim a valuable three points.

Best bet – Waterford United to win
