Shelbourne, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-2 Premier Division triumph against Derry City.

In that match, Shelbourne managed 43% possession and 7 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Shelbourne, the goals were scored by Jack Henry-Francis (8') and Daniel Kelly (34'). At the other end, Derry City had 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Henry Rylah (10') was the scorer for Derry City.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Shelbourne have shown defensive steel. In fact, Shelbourne have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 9 goals in the process.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Shelbourne:

• have not lost a league tie with Bohemian FC in their last 2 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 4 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Bohemian FC

DWWWWW 🔥

Bohemian FC will come into the game following a 1-0 Premier Division win against Galway United in their most recent match.

In that game, Bohemian FC managed 70% possession and 12 shots on goal with 6 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Bohemian FC was Patrick Hickey (87'). On the other side, Galway United got 9 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.

A sequence of very capable showings by the Bohemian FC defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 2 from their past 6 outings combined. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 10. However, it remains to be seen if that pattern will be maintained in this next game.

Leading up to this clash, Bohemian FC:

• have not won against Shelbourne in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.

🗞️ Team News: Shelbourne

We think that The Shels look set to opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Wessel Speel, Sean Gannon, Zeno Rossi, Kameron Ledwidge, James Norris, Jack Henry-Francis, Kerr McInroy, Daniel Kelly, Harry Wood, Maill Lundgren and John Martin.

📰 Team News: Bohemian FC

It’s our belief that The Bohs appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Kacper Chorazka, Niall Morahan, Patrick Hickey, Sam Todd, Senan Mullen, Dawson Devoy, Adam McDonnell, Harry Vaughan, Ross Tierney, Connor Parsons and Colm Whelan.

✨ Prediction

In our view, Bohemian FC will likely be able to score against this Shelbourne lineup, although that may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Shelbourne when the full-time whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
