Sligo Rovers vs Shelbourne – Best Free Betting Tips and Predictions

Sligo Rovers are one of the two unbeaten teams left in the division as they picked up a 2-2 draw with Shamrock Rovers. Despite a 2-0 lead, Sligo Rovers were unable to sustain this good position. Shelbourne lost 3-0 at home against Finn Harps to dampen the mood coming into this fixture.

Sligo Rovers victory

Sligo Rovers are yet to lose a match after six attempts and the record against Shelbourne is pretty immaculate for the team with five wins in the last six. Shelbourne picked up a victory in the last meeting in October even when they were down to 10 men. However, the recent form is not in favour of the visiting team.

Total goals over 2.5

The last three matches involving Sligo Rovers have produced more than 2.5 goals with ease. The defensive performances of Sligo Rovers have not been very convincing and even a team like Shelbourne, who have not scored a lot of goals this season, should be able to find a way past.

Goals from both teams – yes

Shelbourne have scored in just two of the last five league matches. However, they go up against an opponent who has struggled for clean sheets in recent matches. Sligo Rovers have ended up conceding late goals in back-to-back matches and this cost them dearly in the recent draw with Shamrock Rovers.
