Dundalk vs Shelbourne Betting Tips - Draw
Three games into the Irish Premier Division campaign, both teams have picked up four points from their opening three matches, with Dundalk picking up a big 5:0 win against St Pats on Friday, while Shelbourne also grabbed all three points in their match against Bohemians.
Going back to last season, Dundalk´s form is certainly the stronger of the two teams, with the hosts winning five and losing two of their last nine league matches since September. Comparatively, Shelbourne have won just two of their last fifteen league matches. Oddly, Shelbourne´s only success prior to their 1:0 win against Bohemians was a 6:0 drubbing of Drogheda.
Historically, this fixture has been keenly contested, and recent meetings have been tight, with three of the last four finishing deadlocked. Both of their last two meetings finished 0:0, with the previous five all seeing BTTS. Dundalk have seen both team scoring in six of their last seven league games and in each of their last four at home. Shelbourne have seen the same outcome in three of their last five on the road.
Yet, ultimately, this fixture is pretty tough to call, with both teams yet to really get going just two games into the season. While goals have usually been a factor in this contest, the fact that both of their last two meetings finished 0:0 has to rule that selection out.
With little recent form to go on beyond the recent draws between these sides, we´re going to sit on the fence and pick the draw at big odds. While Dundalk are favourites, with Shelbourne failing to win any of their last seven away league games, we feel this fixture is unlikely to prove a thriller and with that, a low-scoring draw could well ensue.
