Tonight at Dalymount Park is a league game where both sides need points in different ways. Bohemians are still chasing the top spots, while Shelbourne need points to prop up their fourth place. Both teams' most recent Premier Division games on 16 Oct ended in wins: Bohemians beat Waterford United 2-1, while Shelbourne went away and beat St Patrick's 1-2, which means both sides come into this game without needing to adjust much. The pattern of Bohemians at home is likely to be controlling the ball and pushing the game high, while Shelbourne, who just scored as many as 5 at home on 9 Oct, have an attack ready to hit back. But the defending of both teams has a visible weak point in the numbers from the 31-45 minute period, when they concede the most goals over the last 30 matches (Bohemians 21% of all they concede), which makes the late part of the first half a moment when the game could open up. If Bohemians control the game as expected and don't concede first, the game should flow toward the hosts, who should get more scoring chances, especially late on when both teams score most often over the last 30 matches (Bohemians 32% · Shelbourne 29%). What to watch after kick-off is how quickly Bohemians can set up their attack before Shelbourne can get fully into their defensive shape.
