Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Shelbourne is 6.85, compared to 7.05 for Bohemians. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Shelbourne's highest-rated starter is E. Caffrey (7.07), while Bohemians's best-rated player is D. Devoy (7.51).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Shelbourne have contributed 19 goals and 12 assists this season, led by A. Odubeko (7G). Bohemians's starters account for 29 goals and 21 assists, spearheaded by J. Clarke (8G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Shelbourne deploy 4 defenders rated 6.87 on average, against Bohemians's 4-man backline averaging 6.93. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Shelbourne field 4 midfielders averaging 6.83, versus Bohemians's 3 rated 7.19. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Shelbourne start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.90, compared to 3 for Bohemians averaging 7.05. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 46% for Shelbourne and 45% for Bohemians. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Shelbourne's starters have collected 39 yellow cards this season, compared to 60 for Bohemians. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Shelbourne's starting XI is 25.0 (youngest: L. Temple (20), oldest: S. Gannon (34)), while Bohemians average 26.0 (youngest: L. Kavanagh (22), oldest: R. Cornwall (31)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Shelbourne's starters average 23 league appearances each, versus 30 for Bohemians. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
