Shelbourne vs St Patricks Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

The bookmakers have Shelbourne at +123 when it comes to 1x2. This suggests that the favourites have a 45% chance of winning this League of Ireland clash based on the betting odds. St Patrick's Athletic are the outsiders at +215 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

There are different betting angles when backing Shels including the Asian Handicap -0.25 wager. This is available at -115 and there’s a half stake return if they only draw with Pats.

If you’re anticipating that two goals or less will be netted throughout the contest, then Under 2.5 Goals is a definite runner. Both Teams to Score is a two-way market and, when it comes to latest odds, there’s not much to separate Yes and No.
