James Darby's Bet of the weekend

* Shelbourne win 7/5 - Paddy Power

Shelbourne have been in poor form of late but can get back to winning ways at Dundalk later. Their home form has been dreadful but they put in their best performances on the road. Dundalk have struggled to win any matches at home this season and should be opposed later.
