Bohemian FC’s victory against Shamrock Rovers in their most recent league game is their only victory in the last 11 league games played. Bohemians put up a great performance last week as they came back from a goal down to defeat Shamrock Rovers. Shamrock got the first goal of the game in the 15th minute, but Tierney got the equalizer for Bohemian in the 24th minute and Filip Pisczek doubled their lead in the 84th minute. Their overall league statistics are 8 victories, 8 draws, and 11 losses from 27 games.

Shelbourne finally got a win after four league games without a win. The narrow victory came in their most recent league game against Dundalk with Aiden O’Brien getting the only goal of the game for Shels in the early minutes of the first half. The goal was all Shelbourne needed to seal the win. 

Shelbourne continues to wax stronger in their pursuit of League of Ireland Premiership glory this season and Will Jarvis continues to impress for Shelbourne with 8 goals scored this season. They are currently top of the league and 3-points clear of their closest rivals Derry City. Shelbourne has an overall league record of 14 wins, 10 draws, and 4 losses from a total of 28 league games.

A closer look at the last 20 games between them produced 8 wins for Bohemians, 7 wins for Shelbourne, and 5 draws.

With just 8 games to the end of the season, Shelbourne cannot afford to lose a game as it’s costly and detrimental to their dreams of championship glory this season. They are already so close and must see it to the finish line. A win in this game will steer Shelbourne 6-points clear of their closest rivals Derry City and we believe Shels will get it. 

Bohemians are in very bad shape as they have managed to win only a league game from their last 11 league games. Both teams have met thrice this season, Shelbourne won the first leg encounter by a 0-2 victory, Bohemians won the second leg with a 1-2 victory while the third leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Our prediction is a win or draw for Shelbourne. 

• Bohemian is without a clean sheet in their last 4 meetings
• There have been less than 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 meetings
• More than 4.5 cards in 8 of their last 10 encounters
• There have been less than 10.5 corners in 4 of their last 5 games.
