League of Ireland Premier Division: the method behind our predictions
How do we arrive at our League of Ireland Premier Division (Ireland) predictions? We strip the margin out of several bookmakers' odds for each game and average them, which gives us 1, X and 2 probabilities and a concrete tip. Shamrock Rovers are top after 36 matches.
- The tip is the outcome we think most probable. Where the favourite has only a narrow edge, we suggest double chance instead.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar gives our estimated chance of each outcome: home win, draw or away win.
- Fair odds are simply 1 divided by the probability. A bookmaker's price above the fair odds may mean value, yet value never guarantees a winning bet.
Where each club stands is in the table; games already played are in the results, the rounds still to come in the fixture list, the goalscorers in the scorers ranking and bookings in the cards ranking.
