Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Shelbourne’s matches have seen under 2.5 goals more often than any other Premier Division side this season (15 times). Their clash with Sligo, another low-scoring side, is expected to follow suit. A tight, cagey contest is likely, making under 2.5 goals the standout betting option.

Shelbourne 1-0

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Shelbourne, currently fifth, sit nine points above ninth-placed Sligo. Despite patchy form, they’ve won the last two meetings with Sligo by one goal and face a side that’s won only four of 13 home games. A narrow away win appeals, with 1-0 to Shelbourne a solid correct-score choice.

Visitors to claim a narrow win

No Premier Division team’s games have finished with fewer than three goals more times than Shelbourne’s this season (15), and Saturday’s clash away to Sligo at The Showgrounds is unlikely to be any different. Back under 2.5 goals.

They are four places above Sligo in the table, with Shelbourne fifth and Sligo ninth. The hosts have won seven and the visitors eight of their 25 games this season, but Shelbourne have nine points more than Sligo.

Sligo are unbeaten in six of their last seven Premier Division matches and were 2-0 winners over Derry City in their most recent home game. Shelbourne have been in patchy form recently, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six games.

Shelbourne can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Sligo have been poor at home, winning just four of their 13 games, and Shelbourne have won the last two Premier Division meetings with them by a single goal.
