Shelbourne
LWLDDW ⚖
Shelbourne will be looking for another win after the 3-1 Premier Division triumph against Cork City.
In that game, Shelbourne had 67% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Shelbourne, the scorers were Harry Wood (2'), Mipo Odubeko (6') and Jonathan Lunney (83'). Cork City had 6 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Kitt Nelson (42') scored for Cork City.
It has not been often in recent times where Shelbourne have shown defensive steel. In fact, Shelbourne have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 7 goals in the process. That pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, though.
Linfield
WWWWLL
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Coleraine in Premiership action, Linfield and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
Rhyss Campbell (43') scored for Coleraine.
David Healy's Linfield have found the back of the net a total of 11 times throughout their latest six matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during those same clashes adds up to 5.
🧠
Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Linfield will have their work cut out to score goals against this Shelbourne side who we reckon should score & stay on top.
We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Shelbourne at the end of this game.
Hoping for a good game.
