Shelbourne Win

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Shelbourne win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Shelbourne or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Shelbourne not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Waterford to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

This matchup between Shelbourne and Waterford has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.

Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 3.87 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.
