What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Galway and 1.2 from Shelbourne, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.2), and we make both teams to score about 60%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.54, which works out at about 65 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Galway have won two of their last five.
Shelbourne have won one of their last five.
Five of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
