Two of the Irish Premier Divisions newly promoted sides meet in Round 3 of the Irish Premier League and both have had a decent start to life back in the top flight. A win for either side would give them a great deal of confidence that they can stay competitive and maintain their place in the top division.

Match result

This is a contest between two teams who know each other very well and this is reflected in how competitive the matches were between the sides last year. In the four matches that the teams played last season there were two draws and a win for each side. Heading into this contest it’s Shelbourne who will carry the most confidence into the match following a comfortable 2-0 away win against Drogheda. It was a nice return to form for Shelbourne who were thrashed 3-0 to Shamrock Rovers in their first match of the season. Priced at 4/5 for victory we think backing Shelbourne could be the way to play.

Under 2.5 goals

The last three matches between the sides have seen the under 2.5 goal mark successfully come in and we think there is every chance it could happen again. Both teams in their last round of fixtures saw under 2.5 goals and it doesn’t look like either one of these sides are going to be prolific scorers. In a game that could be very nervy we think it makes sense to back the under 2.5 goal market here.

Half time result

Betting on the match being a draw at half time could be the way to play here. If the match is as tight as we expect it to be it could be that both teams take some time to feel each other out before igniting in the second half. We backing the draw at half time in a possibly cagey match is the right way to play.
