On June 9, Tolka Park (Dublin) will host the match of the 20th round of the Irish Premier Division, in which Shelbourne will compete with Sligo Rovers. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Shelbourne

The team was one of the flagships of Irish football at the end of the previous century and at the beginning of the current one – it won a lot of championship titles (mostly in the 2000s) and cup trophies (at the end of the century). Nowadays, Damien Duff’s wards reduce their ambitions to the struggle for survival. “The Reds” finished the previous Premier Division season in the 7th position. The current draw is being spent approximately at the same level. Although in April and at the first half of May the team even gave out a series of 8 matches without a defeat and was “blown away” only at the end of spring. The June battles against Derry City and Drogheda United show a reversal state of things. First, it shared points with the leader from Northern Ireland and then managed to win a shoot-out against the previous opponent with a 3-2 score.

Sligo Rovers

The club was perfect some ten years ago, when it became the champion of Ireland in 2011 (after a 60-year pause) and won the cups. “The Bit O' Red” reminded of itself in the previous draw, finishing in the 3rd place, thanks to which it even returned to the European competitions. Still, those positions were lost. The team finished already in the 5th place in 2022 at the so-called “equator” of the table. And then the decline was continued – the team lost more often than won in the spring. There were even 3 defeats in a row in May, after which it managed to sensationally beat Derry City. Still, the summer segment has not given an opportunity to get the points. There was no even a single chance to reach a draw: a 0-2 defeat made by Bohemians and a 0-3 failure in the match against Shamrock Rovers.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The clubs have alternately made a success in head-to-head matches. Speaking about the previous year, Sligo won twice after 3 defeats in a row. Then Shelbourne was victorious in both spring battles.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that the team that has gained momentum at its home arena will host a crisis one. There is no need to invent anything here – thus, we choose a bet on the victory of Damien Duff’s wards (odd: 2.19).
