In their last game, Shelbourne drew 1-1 in the Premier Division tie with Bohemian FC.

For 5 of the prior six clashes featuring Shelbourne, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game in that spell comes to a paltry 1.67, with the average goals for The Shels being 0.83. We will just have to see if that trend will be sustained here.
