Shelbourne vs St. Patricks Prediction & Betting Tips (30 September)

Shelbourne have been in absolutely miserable form recently, collecting just two points from a possible 23 and losing four consecutive matches in front of their own supporters. The picture has been a somewhat different one as far as St. Patricks are concerned, with their charges recording nine wins in 11 Premier Division fixtures, including four in a row of late.

Shelbourne have played 16 home games during the current Premier Division campaign, with no fewer than 11 of these encounters serving up under 2.5 goals. Not only that, but ten of the last 11 St. Patricks away matches at this level have also produced no more than a couple of goals, meaning that more of the same is expected when the sides go head-to-head at the Shelbourne Stadium.

It would be fair to say that Shelbourne have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 11 Premier Division matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 11 St. Patricks away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
