Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're tipping a close-fought game here and, as such, our prediction is under 2.5 goals. This means that we expect 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Galway and Shelbourne go head-to-head. Clear game plans will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have reason to trust both sides to deliver just that. The stats and the odds below suggest it's a sound bet too.
