Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 49% for Shelbourne and 77% for St Patrick's Athl..

Discipline

Shelbourne's starters have collected 48 yellow cards this season, compared to 9 for St Patrick's Athl.. 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.
