Fixture Analysis
It is a Premier Division clash, Regular Season - 36 as St Patrick's Athl. welcome Shelbourne to Richmond Park. Kick-off is set for Sunday 6 November 2022 at 19:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Premier Division games this season, St Patrick's Athl. have gone 6W 1D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.90 PPG return. Last five: D W W L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
St Patrick's Athl.'s home record at Richmond Park: 6W 1D 3L from 10 Premier Division appearances (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Shelbourne — All Games: 1W 6D 3L from 10 Premier Division fixtures this season — 0.90 PPG. Last five: D L D D W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.30. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.
When travelling in Premier Division this season, Shelbourne have posted 2W 3D 5L from 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
On current form, St Patrick's Athl. have the edge — a 1.00 PPG advantage (1.90 vs 0.90) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. St Patrick's Athl. register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Shelbourne in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Trading Patterns
St Patrick's Athl. in-play and half-time data (35 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games).
Shelbourne in-play and half-time data (35 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 47% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (away games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — St Patrick's Athl. 49% versus Shelbourne 49%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (St Patrick's Athl. 54% | Shelbourne 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects St Patrick's Athl. 1.53 xG and Shelbourne 0.95 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: St Patrick's Athl. attack 1.043 / defence 0.953 | Shelbourne attack 0.923 / defence 1.038. League average goals — home 1.412 / away 1.085. Data: 71 St Patrick's Athl. games / 35 Shelbourne games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: St Patrick's Athl. 51% | Draw 26% | Shelbourne 24%. Fair-value odds: St Patrick's Athl. 1.96 | Draw 3.85 | Shelbourne 4.17. St Patrick's Athl. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.48. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.48 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates St Patrick's Athl. as the most likely outcome at 51% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on St Patrick's Athl. offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.48 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 45% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. This conflicts with form data: St Patrick's Athl. 60% | Shelbourne 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
St Patrick's Athl. beat Shelbourne 4-0 at Richmond Park, Regular Season - 36, in the Premier Division. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting St Patrick's Athl. 1.53 xG and Shelbourne 0.95 xG, a combined 2.48. The scoreboard read 4-0 for 4 actual goals. St Patrick's Athl. beat their projection by 2.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Shelbourne landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of St Patrick's Athl. attack 1.04 / defence 0.95 against Shelbourne attack 0.92 / defence 1.04, drawn from 71/35 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it St Patrick's Athl. 51% | Draw 26% | Shelbourne 24%, with St Patrick's Athl. to win its most likely call at 51%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. Over 3.5 was 24% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (St Patrick's Athl. 54%, Shelbourne 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
St Patrick's Athl.'s trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.
Shelbourne's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, St Patrick's Athl. arrived the stronger side — 1.66 PPG against 1.17. That form edge translated into the three points. St Patrick's Athl. (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.41 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 0.94 average — tighter than their form line. Shelbourne (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.18 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
