Shelbourne Sligo Rovers betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is a Shelbourne win. Despite going through a period of some instability, the home side have plenty of arguments to impose their football against a Sligo Rovers side clearly in decline, with just 3 wins in 16 games. With a more balanced squad and greater individual quality, it is expected that Shelbourne will make the most of the home advantage to return to winning ways and add three more points to the table.

Preview
Shelbourne and Sligo face at Tolka Park, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier Division. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 28‑03‑2025, Shelbourne got an away win by (1‑2). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 7 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 27‑09‑2024, in a match for the Premier Division, they tied (0‑0). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Shelbourne

The home team faces Sligo, in a match for the 17 round, which had been delayed, after 5 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses in the league so far. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. For the league, Shelbourne won 13 points out of 27 possible points, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the last 9 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Shelbourne enter this match after a goalless draw at home against Drogheda. The home side usually line up in a 4-3-3, placing more emphasis on a slow, well-worked style of play in the central midfield area. The three forwards, responsible for causing panic in the opposition defence, are Evan Caffrey, Harry Wood and Mipo Odubeko. Aerial duels are a major strength for the home team, as their players are very competent in this tactical aspect. Manager Damien Duff will be without Sean Gannon due to suspension.
 

Analysis Sligo

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Bohemians, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Galway United, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 26 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Sligo has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 16 matches for the Premier Division, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sligo Rovers enter this match motivated after a 0-1 victory away at Galway: the only goal for the team was scored by Reece Hutchinson. The visiting side usually line up in a 4-3-3 system, favouring quick transitions, mainly down the wings. In this setup, the three players responsible for causing panic in the opposition defence are Will Fitzgerald, Cian Kavanagh and Owen Elding. Manager John Russell is not expected to have Ollie Denham and Oskar van Hattum available due to injury.
