Betting Predictions
Shelbourne will welcome Derry City at Tolka Park on Monday night in the League of Ireland. This game might have a significant impact on the competition for the league title.
The Candystripes are coming from a huge domestic victory, while the Shels enter this matchup after two trips across Europe.
Head-to-Head
The last time Shelbourne played was at home at Tolka Park against FC Zurich. The result of this match was a 0-0 draw.
The most recent game that Derry City played at home against Bruno’s Magpies ended in a 2-1 victory. At Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, the goal scorers were Mark Connolly and Patrick Hoban. The most recent match between Shelbourne and Derry City ended in a 1-1 tie at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
In the past ten meetings between Shelbourne and Derry City, goals have been scored on an average of 1.2. Derry City has won three, Shelbourne has won one, and there have been six draws.
Team News
Patrick Barrett of Shelbourne, who was given a marching order during the last league game, will miss Monday night’s crucial match.
The Shels’ options at left-back for this match are limited because of their tremendous lack of discipline in their previous League of Ireland match, which also saw goal scorer Wilson sent off.
Jordan McEneff is currently healing from a foot injury he suffered in mid-May, thus Derry is lacking options in the midfield. Due to his recovery from a broken hand, he suffered earlier in the summer, Patrick McEleney will not be playing for the Candy Stripes on Monday.
Probable Line-Up
Shelbourne XI:
Kearns; Griffin, Lewidge, Gannon, Bone; Caffrey, Lunney, Coyle; Smith, Jarvis, Martin
Derry City XI:
Maher; Dummigan, Connolly, Coll, Doherty; O’Reilly, Patching, Kelly, McMullan, Duffy; Hoban
Verdict
Tip Shelbourne to Win or Draw✅
Reason
Shelbourne will have a wonderful chance to take the Irish championship one step further, but Monday night’s visit from Derry will be a huge challenge.
Shelbourne has only lost once in their last nine games in all competitions, indicating their excellent record. But that defeat came in the Champions League Qualifiers, away from home, against a very strong Zurich squad. They were outstanding all season long at Tolka Park, though, as they held Zurich to a draw there. They have only dropped two of their 14 home games this season, against Sligo Rovers and Bohemians, despite being the superior team in both contests and deserving of at least draws.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals✅
Reason
Either team’s victory would be monumental; Derry’s higher goal differential would allow them to pass the leaders, and the Shels’ victory would give them a six-point advantage.
It might be a cagey match at Tolka Park, though, as both teams might see this as a “must not lose” tie rather than a “must win.” Given that both clubs have good defenses, going under 2.5 goals seems like a smart bet in this situation.
With 40 goals in 25 games, Derry has the greatest offensive in the league, but they are up against the strongest defense, as Shelbourne gives up just 0.6 goals per game on average. As a result, they probably won’t be ready to take many chances, as a point on the road would be considered a good result in this situation.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
