APWin Prediction

1st Half Over 0.5 Goals

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Shamrock Rovers to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Shamrock Rovers likely coming out on top away from home. Shamrock Rovers has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Shelbourne has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Shamrock Rovers to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.

👉 Our prediction is: Shelbourne to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Shelbourne to win outright, which is our betting tip.

Shelbourne's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Shamrock Rovers's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
