Shelbourne take on the visitors Finn Harps in the round 23 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, July 8th at Tolka Park (Dublin).
Shelbourne, of course, do not pretend to high places, but it was clear from the beginning. Returning to the elite of Irish football, for starters, you need to gain a foothold in it. And, despite the poor performance in the last rounds (is it worth scolding Shelburne if all the fights were with opponents who are higher in the table?), it can be stated with a high degree of probability that the team is not in danger of fighting for survival. 13 points from the zone of play-offs, and in the event of a victory over Finn Harps, it will increase even more. The Reds are not a very scoring team, but in the last home matches they are almost a bulwark of reliability.

Last season, Finn Harps managed to keep their place in the elite. In the present, everything will depend on consistency in performances. While the prospects are small, only three points separate the hosts from the direct relegation zone. Two victories per season, the last of which was already in April, does not leave much chance. Surprisingly, these two just happened against Shelbourne. Finn Harps hasn't been playing a draw very often lately. And the second place from the end in terms of the number of goals scored, the penultimate one in defense and in terms of the number of points scored on the road.
It seems that everything is clear when look the standings and Shelburne is the favorite of this confrontation. Alas, it is a little dangerous to bet on a clean victory, because during the championship the hosts have already lost twice to the opponent. But still, you can bet on winning, adjusted for a zero handicap. And it's more about the opponent. The squad from Ballybofi is already very bad nowadays, conceding at least two goals away in each of the matches.
Prediction for the match: Shelbourne to win with 0.0 handicap.
