Shelbourne and Sligo Rovers will play in the 17th round of the Irish Championship. The hosts are the reigning champions, but they currently occupy only sixth place. The visitors are in last place and remain the main candidate for relegation from the Premier League. Is it worth waiting for a sensation on May 23? The answer is in our betting tip for this match

Command Analysis

Shelbourne

Current form

Last season, Shelbourne won their first league title since 2006, ending the four-year hegemony of Shamrock Rovers. It will be difficult to keep the championship title because the competition is serious. After 17 matches, the team is only in sixth place. However, the gap from the second line is only four points. But it will be difficult to compete for the first place - Shamrock Rovers, who are eager to regain the title, have already come off by nine points. In recent matches, the team from Dublin lost to Bohemians (0:1) and drew with Drogheda United (0:0).

Disqualifications and injuries

Patrick Barrett, Sean Boyd and Sean Gannon will miss the meeting. The appearance of Sam Bone, Conor Kearns and Lewis Temple on the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

The team has never scored in the last two rounds.
The hosts have won only once in their last eight matches.

Approximate composition: Healy -Ledwidge, Wilson, Norris, Lanny- McEnroe, Martin, Chapman, Caffrey-Wood, Odubeko

Sligo Rovers

Current form

Sligo Rovers are in danger of losing their registration in the Premier League at the end of this season. After 16 matches, the team closes the standings. The team can still move to the play-off zone - Cork City, which is located there, is ahead of the guests only in terms of additional indicators. But the teams are already eight points behind to eighth place, which guarantees salvation. In the last round, the Sligo team managed to take a step towards salvation, beating Galway United (1-0) on the road, but before that the club lost to Shamrock (0:2) and Bohemians (0:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

Oliver Denham and Oscar van Hattum are staying with the guests in the infirmary. Conor Reynolds' entry into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

The team has won only one of the last six league matches.
In the last three rounds, the guests have managed to score only one goal.

Approximate composition: Sargent-Hutchinson, Mahon, McElroy, Lintott-Wolfe, Doyle-Hayes-Fitzgerald, Hakiki, Kavanagh-Elding

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+1) on Sligo Rovers

2.00

The hosts clearly outperform the opponent in terms of player level, but in recent matches the team has been struggling to achieve results - only one victory in eight matches. With such a game, the reigning champion may well have problems with a motivated opponent, besides, Sligo Rovers just won an away victory in the last round, which may give the outsider strength.

Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on Sligo Rovers in 2.00

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal less than 2.5 goals

2.05

Bet on the total

The opponents are not in the best shape, so creating scoring chances is very difficult. The hosts scored in the last two rounds, and the guests scored only one goal during this time. We think that there is no need to expect a scoring extravaganza from such rivals, for sure the outcome of the meeting will be determined by one goal scored.

Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.05

The first half bet

We expect that the match will turn out to be low-intensity, so we can assume that there will be no goals in the first half either. Most likely, the opponents will leave for a break with an equal score.

Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.45
