Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Damien Duff and Stephen Kenny to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a flood of goals as Shelbourne and St Patrick's go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.65 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.
