Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Goals should be on the cards here, as St Pats have scored three or more goals in eight of their 26 Premier Division matches, while the Shels have scored at least twice in 14 of their 25 games. Shelbourne have seen goals at both ends in ten of their 13 home league matches, and St Pats can play their part in a back-and-forth game.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Four of the last six Premier Division meetings between Shelbourne and St Patricks have finished with under 2.5 goals scored, suggesting this will be close. However, BTTS has landed in St Pats’ last three league matches, while the Shels’ open home games suggest a score-draw is the standout outcome.

Back more goals for Shels

St Patricks have scored three or more goals in eight of their 26 Premier Division games this season, and Shelbourne have scored two goals or more in 14 of their 25 matches. Back both teams to get on the scoresheet when they meet at Tolka Park on Sunday.

St Patricks are three places above Shelbourne in the table, with ten points separating the two teams. Both have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with St Patricks recording 12 wins and Shelbourne eight.

Shelbourne have four wins, three draws and four defeats in the 11 games against other top-half teams this season and were 2-1 winners over Dundalk last month in their last Premier Division home game. St Patricks have failed to win seven of their last eight away games.

St Patrick’s and Derry City played out an evenly contested 1-1 draw in their last Premier Division game last weekend. St Patrick’s Aidan Keena gave his side the lead in the 27th minute from the penalty spot, before Derry City hit back through James Clarke. The result maintained St Patricks’ run of matches with both teams scoring.

Shelbourne will be backing themselves to score here. They have scored an average of 1.43 goals a game in their seven Premier Division home games against other top-half teams this season, and have found the net at least twice in four of their last six league games.

There have been goals at both ends in ten of Shelbourne’s 13 home league games this season.

Both teams have been struggling at the back lately. Shelbourne have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine Premier Division games, while St Patricks have gone three games without a shutout.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. Four of the last six Premier Division games between Shelbourne and St Patricks have produced under 2.5 goals, but both teams have scored in St Patricks’ last three league games.
