Dundalk vs St Patricks Predictions

• St Pats have conceded 22 goals in 11 away games this season
• The visitors lost 5-0 at this ground in March
• Dundalk have scored at least twice in their last five at home

St Pats in confident mood

The visitors head into this one as slight favourites, having won five of their last six games including a home clash with Dundalk. That run has put them into third place in the Irish Premier, but Monday pits them against a Dundalk side who will be a threat.

The hosts have won three games on the bounce and there are only three points between the two sides in the table. With home advantage to swing it, Dundalk should be confident, especially as they look to build on some fine scoring form.

Defensive issues plague visitors

While the visitors head into this clash in good form, they’ve managed only one clean sheet in their last five games. St Pats have had a lot of problems on their travels, conceding 22 times in their 11 trips to date.

Considering that record, Dundalk’s scoring record appeals here. The hosts have scored at least twice in each of their last five at home, while they won 5-0 when these two sides met at this ground back in March. Back Dundalk to score another couple in this clash.
