Shels Look Great Value

We’ll side with Shelbourne at an attractive price of 2.00 on the basis that they should be dominant against Cork. The Full-Time Result market offers a good deal of value not to mention a strong potential return.

Shels Are 5 From 7 on the H2H

Cork City have been defeated in their last four games. On the road, they recently suffered a 2-1 loss against Galway United at Eamonn Deacy Park. The Rebel Army had one shot on target and boasted 56% possession, while Djenairo Daniels was the goalscorer.

Shelbourne have experienced back-to-back road defeats. In their previous game, they beat Sligo Rovers at home, winning 3-2 at Tolka Park. Damien Duff's side were 53% in the possession stakes and had six shots on goal, with John Martin on fire with a hat-trick.

Shels haven’t lost to Cork in their past seven games, with the last clash ending 1-1 at Tolka Park. The past 7 H2H meetings have featured five Shels wins and two draws.

Shels Trading at Shorter Odds Than Cork
