Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Stephen Kenny and Stephen Bradley to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a glut of goals as St Patrick's and Shamrock go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.48 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we're recommending.

Goal Statistics

Shamrock Rovers's defensive record is to be admired, Stephen Bradley's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Premier Division games. An average PG rating of 1.3 for St Patrick's Athletic makes sense in this context.

With a PG of just 0.9, Shamrock Rovers look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that St Patrick's Athletic have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive Premier Division games, and it could be a long evening for Stephen Bradley's men.
