Betting Predictions
Over 1.5 Goals
The odds for Over 1.5 Goals at 76.50 suggest that bookmakers anticipate an engaging match with at least two goals scored. Linfield’s attacking prowess, combined with Shelbourne’s occasional defensive lapses, supports this prediction. Fans can expect both teams to be proactive in their offensive strategies.
Under 2.5 Goals
With odds set at 64.70 for Under 2.5 Goals, there’s a significant expectation that the match might not be as goal-heavy as some anticipate. This prediction leans on the possibility of both teams being cautious defensively, especially Shelbourne trying to secure a clean sheet or minimize damage while on the road.
Both Teams Not to Score
