Premier Division Ireland
Game Prediction
In the 20th round of the Irish Premier Division on June 20, 2025, Shelbourne and Derry City will face off. This is a clash of neighbors on the league table, both still in contention for high final positions.
Our Prediction for Shelbourne vs Derry City
The Tolka Park team earned 63 points last season, enough to surpass Shamrock Rovers—who were distracted by the Conference League—and claim the league title, their first since 2006. The visitors from Derry, however, had a less successful year: just 55 points and a fourth-place finish, which was not enough for a return to European competition.
Currently, the reigning champions have notably dropped off. They are winning less than half of their matches, with almost as many losses as victories. In the previous round, they managed to win against St. Patrick's. The visitors started the season better, but late spring saw back-to-back defeats to both Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians. Last Friday, they drew 1-1 with Galway.
Duff’s side currently scores slightly more than they concede—1.14 compared to 1.05 on average. Their opponents' matches are a little more eventful: 1.21 goals scored and 1.16 conceded per game on average.
