Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Shelbourne and St Patrick's will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither John Russell or Stephen Kenny has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.36 equating to about a 74% probability.
