UCD vs Shelbourne: Top Free Betting Tips

UCD have had a disastrous season and it might even be too late for an improvement for them. Here are our predictions for their game against Shelbourne.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

The Premier Division of Ireland is not a league typically known for its goal-packed games. In this particular fixture, we have a team that is the weakest in the league and their opponents that are out of shape. We do not expect any action in this match and there should be few goals and possibly just from Shelbourne's side. All five times the teams played in the past year ended with less than 2.5 goals.

Match Result – Draw

We are going against the odds in this match. UCD might be the weakest team in the league but they do not perform in such a bad way against Shelbourne. Moreover, Shelbourne have been struggling a lot on the road and lost five of the last six outings in the division. The teams played twice at UCD over the past year and both matches ended in 0:0 draws.

Correct Score – 0:0

Three of the last four times these two teams met at UCD, we saw 0:0 draws. We believe there is a lot of value in this particular market and perhaps also in the 1:1. Both sides have weak attacks and we do not expect more than a goal per side. Shelbourne are the big favorite here as expected but they might have a much more difficult task than expected from the bookies.

UCD vs Shelbourne: Form, Recent Games, and News

UCD Preview

UCD and Shelbourne have a lot of history between them. These are the two teams that got promoted to the elite at the end of the previous campaign. The difference is that UCD is a college football team, so their level is actually lowe than that of most teams in generall. And it shows – the team is the weakest in the league, with the weakest attack and defense out of all. Their goal difference right now is 15:47.

Shelbourne Preview

Shelbourne also got promoted to the elite at the start of this season but unlike UCD, they will remain in the league at the end of this season. Their stats are not impressive either but the team at least scores goals in most games. Their goal difference after 22 games played is 21:28. They are currently in their worst form out of the entire campaign, so this is why we have doubts that they will win this match.
