Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Under 3.5 goals means, quite simply that there will be a maximum of 3 goals scored by Drogheda and Shelbourne combined during 90 minutes. Recent form statistics and historical head-to-head (H2H) performances have led us to this prediction, and we think there's a 77% chance of it being a winning tip. The best price currently available on under 3.5 goals is 1.22.
