What the Premier Division numbers say
With 2.87 goals a game, the Premier Division is close to a coin toss for over/under 2.5 this season (54% over), and both teams have scored in 63%. Home sides win 40% of the time and 31% of games end level.
The spread between teams is what makes these numbers useful. Shelbourne games have gone over 2.5 goals 69% of the time, while St Patrick's Athl. games have done so only 38% of the time, and St Patrick's Athl. have kept a clean sheet in 38% of their matches. When two high-scoring sides meet, the over and both teams to score become strong options; when two tight sides meet, look at the under.
Remember that early-season numbers move fast and a handful of games can tell a misleading story. Our Premier Division predictions combine these figures with recent form, home advantage and the bookmaker prices – and we publish how those picks do on the accuracy page.
