Their latest results shine a light on the fact that quality has been evident in the Shelbourne backline. Shelbourne have been mean at the back, with the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their last 6 matches standing at 4. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this match, of course.
Their previous form shows that Shelbourne:
Shamrock Rovers will go into the encounter following on from a 1-0 Premier Division win to beat St. Patrick's Athletic in their last outing.
In that game, Shamrock Rovers managed 62% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Shamrock Rovers was Graham Burke (9'). For their opponents, St Patrick's Athletic had 13 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.
The stats tell the story, and Shamrock Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in total. In defence, Shamrock Rovers have clearly had some problems.
Heading into this fixture, Shamrock Rovers haven't been defeated by Shelbourne when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. A solid away record against them.
Checking on their most recent head-to-head meetings stretching back to 28/02/2025 tells us that Shelbourne have won 1 of these and Shamrock Rovers 2, with the number of drawn games standing at 3.
19 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 9 of them from The Shels and 10 for The Hoops. That is an average goals per game value of 3.17.
The previous league fixture between the two was Premier Division match day 10 on 06/04/2026 and the score finished Shamrock Rovers 3-2 Shelbourne.
That day, Shamrock Rovers managed 50% possession and 12 shots on goal with 6 on target. Goals were scored by Roberto Lopes (44'), Michael Noonan (45') and Graham Burke (57').
For their opponents, Shelbourne had 7 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Ali Coote (31') and Jack Henry-Francis (79') scored.
The match was refereed by Kevin O'Sullivan.
It’s our opinion that The Shels will probably use a 4-5-1 formation for this game featuring Wessel Speel, Milan Mbeng, Sam Bone, Patrick Barrett, Kameron Ledwidge, Harry Wood, Ellis Chapman, Jonathan Lunney, Evan Caffrey, Will Jarvis and John Martin.
It’s our belief that The Hoops seem likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting Edward McGinty, Tunmise Sobowale, Lee Grace, Enda Stevens, Jake Mulraney, Matthew Healy, Dylan Watts, Cory O'Sullivan, Jack Byrne, Graham Burke and John McGovern.
In our view, Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.
We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore expecting a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
Regarding the current betting odds in the 90 min. result market, a win for Shelbourne is available for 2.55, a wager on a draw is 3.2 and selecting the winning team to be Shamrock Rovers can get you 2.55. They’re the best bets being offered as of now.
