Shelbourne vs Sligo Rovers Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Irish Premier Division on Friday, 09 June 2023.
Shelbourne are set to host Sligo Rovers at Tolka Park for their upcoming league fixture. Shelbourne enter the contest following a string of mixed performances. They sit fifth in the table following a 3-2 win over Drogheda United in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Sligo Rovers come into the game with a stretch of subpar results. They remain seventh in the standings after a 3-0 defeat to Shamrock Rovers last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in May. Shelbourne managed to deliver a 3-0 win that day.
In the last eight meetings between the two teams. Shelbourne has won five times, there have been no draws, and Sligo Rovers has won three times.
We are counting on Shelbourne to pull off a win here. They have a fine home record heading into this one. Four of their past six home league matches have ended in victories.
Sligo Rovers, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form, both at home and on the road. They have lost five of their last six league matches.
We don’t expect a flurry of goals in this match. In four of Shelbourne’s past six league matches, there have been fewer than 2.5 goals scored. Also, Sligo Rovers has only scored one goal in their past six league matches.
In addition, five of the last eight h2h meetings between these two at this ground have had under 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a low-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Shelbourne has a fine home record heading into the match. They have won four of their past six home league matches. They also have a fine record against Sligo Rovers. Furthermore, Sligo Rovers have had a poor form going into the match.
A victory for Shelbourne at 2.15 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Going on, Shelbourne has scored two or more goals in each of the past two h2h clashes. The same trend was also seen in three of their past five home matches. Meanwhile, Sligo Rovers have also conceded two or more goals in three of their past five league matches. Therefore, over 1.5 team goals by Shelbourne would be a great pick at 2.50 odd.
