St Patrick’s vs Dundalk – When Dundalk travels to Richmond Park to take on St. Patrick’s Athletic on Friday in the Ireland Premier League title battle, they will be trying to keep themselves in contention.
It’s still possible for the hosts to cut the gap on their opponents, as the two teams are separated by just six points. St Patrick’s Athletic, who had gone two games without a victory, managed to turn things around last weekend when they played Drogheda United.
It was enough for the Saints to keep their playoff hopes alive with three goals from Billy King, Eoin Doyle, and Mark Doyle. At the moment, Tim Clancy’s men sit fourth in the table, but the difference between them and Derry City is only five points, so they will be trying to close it this weekend.
St Patrick’s vs Dundalk – Betting Analysis
After not playing since July 1, St. Patrick’s Athletic should have had plenty of time to rest and prepare for this match. Daniel Kelly scored the only goal of the game in the first half as Dundalk beat the Saints 1-0 in their last meeting.
They will be hoping for a swift response on Friday after their eleven-match undefeated run was ended by Drogheda United in their most recent game.
Dean Williams’ opening-minute goal put the Lilywhites ahead of the game and gave them something to ponder about going into this clash. In the six games preceding their most recent loss, they had a remarkable run, which was bolstered by the fact that they had maintained five clean sheets.
This season, only Shamrock Rovers in the league have allowed less goals than Dundalk, and they hope to maintain that record as they keep the pressure on them.
