Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but it's all-but impossible to predict a goal-fest here. The stats suggest Galway and Shelbourne both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're on the right track here and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
