Shelbourne vs Dundalk

Shelbourne vs Dundalk, two open-game sides but in a cautious league In the Irish Premier Division, Shelbourne host Dundalk in a clash between two sides that concede fairly easily. Both have imperfect defences and tend to take part in games with goals; Shelbourne recently drew 2-2 with Drogheda, while Dundalk won 2-1 against Bohemians. The tip under review concerns a game that stays under four goals. A context that curbs excess Despite the vulnerable defences of the two sides, it is worth remembering that the Irish league has a contained scoring average, around 2.4 a game, which reduces the frequency of games beyond three and a half goals. Most matches in this league stay within the line. As always, details on lineups and absentees remain to be confirmed close to kick-off. Our read The league's contained scoring average supports the idea of a game under four goals, even between two sides with porous defences. I'd put the probability around 68%. The main risk is precisely Shelbourne and Dundalk's leaning toward open games, which on an eventful night could clear the line. The confidence is fair.
