Squad Ratings
The overall squad rating for Bohemians is 7.07, compared to 6.91 for Shelbourne. 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. Bohemians's highest-rated starter is D. Devoy (7.51), while Shelbourne's best-rated player is H. Wood (7.24).
Attacking Output
The starting XI of Bohemians have contributed 28 goals and 21 assists this season, led by J. Clarke (8G). Shelbourne's starters account for 26 goals and 9 assists, spearheaded by H. Wood (9G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.
Defensive Solidity
Bohemians deploy 3 defenders rated 6.96 on average, against Shelbourne's 4-man backline averaging 6.90. 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
Bohemians field 6 midfielders averaging 7.12, versus Shelbourne's 3 rated 6.90. 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
Bohemians start 1 forward(s) averaging 7.11, compared to 3 for Shelbourne averaging 7.00. 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 45% for Bohemians and 51% for Shelbourne. 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
Bohemians's starters have collected 54 yellow cards this season, compared to 41 for Shelbourne. 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 Bohemians's starting XI is 25.5 (youngest: L. Kavanagh (22), oldest: J. Flores (30)), while Shelbourne average 26.2 (youngest: L. Temple (20), oldest: S. Gannon (34)). 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
Bohemians's starters average 31 league appearances each, versus 24 for Shelbourne. 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.
