Como vs Inter Milan
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The meeting at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia sees high-flying Inter travel to face a spirited Como team. While the title hangs in the balance, Inter’s recent away record has been patchy. Though they possess star power and sit second in Serie A, they’ve claimed just two wins from their last eight league games on the road. Despite having once reeled off eight straight away victories, defensive cracks have since appeared.
Como, under Cesc Fabregas, are not the pushovers many expected. They’ve won three straight at home, conceding just once, and have stormed into the top half. Their blend of youthful enthusiasm and tactical sharpness makes them a threat to any visiting side.
With Inter still potent going forward and Como’s recent form at home, both teams finding the net feels highly plausible. The hosts boast attacking flair through Nico Paz and Gabriel Strefezza, while Inter’s likely rotation might make their backline more porous.

Napoli vs Cagliari
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Napoli are on the brink of glory. A win at home against Cagliari will guarantee the title regardless of Inter’s result. The Partenopei are unbeaten in six and have conceded just two goals in that run. With Romelu Lukaku leading the line and a commanding record at the Maradona Stadium, they are strong favourites.
Conte’s men dominated the reverse fixture, cruising to a 4-0 away win where Lukaku starred. Now, with the Scudetto within reach, they should prove too powerful again—particularly against a Cagliari side who’ve already secured safety and could be mentally switched off.
Cagliari have managed just three away wins all season, and with Napoli averaging 2.5 goals per game in this fixture at home, the gap in motivation and quality should be visible. Expect Napoli to go all out to ensure the title doesn’t slip from their grasp.
Best bet – Napoli -1 Handicap
Drogheda United vs Bohemians
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Drogheda have made their home ground a fortress, unbeaten in their last five at Weavers Park. Their resilience and growing attacking fluency—driven by Douglas James-Taylor and Warren Davis—make them well-suited to outscore an inconsistent Bohemians side.
Bohemians have suffered four defeats away from home and have often flattered to deceive despite their league position. More telling is that Drogheda have won the last two meetings between the sides at home, both 1-0. While Bohemians may have more talent on paper, they’ve failed to convert that into consistent results.
What’s different this time is Drogheda’s willingness to push forward more at home. They’re not merely defending; they’re creating. Bohemians can certainly nick a goal—they usually do—but Drogheda look more likely to take the points in an open, end-to-end affair.
Best bet – Drogheda to Win and Both Teams to Score
Shelbourne vs Sligo Rovers
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Shelbourne’s title defence hasn’t gone to plan, but Friday offers the perfect chance to reignite their season. The Dublin club face bottom side Sligo Rovers, who have picked up just three wins in 16 games. Despite their inconsistency, Shelbourne remain formidable at home and should have enough to overpower a struggling opponent.
Though they’ve only managed one win in their last eight, Shelbourne have shown signs of life and will be buoyed by the return of Alistair Coote from suspension. With Mark Coyle suspended and a few injuries still lingering, Duff’s squad isn’t at full strength—but even a rotated side looks stronger than their visitors.
Sligo, while breaking their winless run last week, have still only scored 11 goals all season. Their away form is particularly poor, and the Reds will be desperate to capitalise. Expect a professional performance from the hosts.
Best bet – Shelbourne to Win
