Don't really fancy Shels tonight junior. They've got a lot of important players missing and i'll be very surprised if they can win tonight. Don't let me put you off though. I've underestimated Shels many times already this season.
Athlone V Shelbourne
@15/8: Yet again i'm gonna take on Shels! 2/1 is far too big a price for anAthlone team who have been in decent form lately. In their last 3 home matches they've beaten Finn Harps Kildare County and lost 2-1 to high flying Dundalk.
Athlone and Shels played here earlier on in the season and Athlone won 1-0. The home side have a full strength team tonight for the first time in a long while. Shels on the other hand have lots of players missing. Lacey Crawford and Hussey are definitely out and Chambers and McCullough are doubtful and haven't trained all week.
These are quotes from the shels forum
"Jaysis without McCulloch and Chambers, we'll be hammered."
"We`re doomed. Doomed I tell ya!!"
"Holy smokes, that doesn't look good. Trying to think of a line-up, who are we going to play at left-back?"
Athlone(+1) @8/15 looks like a really solid bet to me but i'm gonna go for a straight home win with medium stakes and i'll also take the HT-FT with low stakes. 9/2 is just too big.
Verdict:
Athlone @2/1 (Ladbrokes) Confidence 5/10
Athlone HT-FT @9/2 Confidence 2/10
Athlone(+1) @8/15 Confidence 8/10
