Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Stephen Bradley and John Caulfield to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Shamrock and Galway go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.75 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.
