St Patricks vs Hegelmann Predictions

• St Pats have scored just one in their last six
• Hegelmann have won six of their last ten
• St Pats have picked up just two points in their last five games.

Hegelmann Aim to Punish Stuttering St Pat’s

St Patrick’s Athletic head into Thursday’s first-leg clash looking to halt a poor run of form, having failed to score in five of their last six matches in all competitions. They’ve slipped down the League of Ireland Premier Division table in recent weeks and now face a tough European test against a sharp and in-form Hegelmann side.

Stephen Kenny’s men are slight favourites to win at Richmond Park, but you wouldn’t think it based on recent results.  while the Saints have looked short of ideas in the final third. Their only goal in the last six games came vs Galway.

Hegelmann, meanwhile, arrive in Dublin with confidence. They’re sitting third in Lithuania’s A Lyga and have won six of their last ten games, including a thumping 5-2 victory in their most recent league outing.

The sides have never met before, and this is just Hegelmann’s second-ever European tie , but they look well set to cause problems for a St Pat’s side low on confidence. The Saints may control possession, but their lack of goal threat is a real concern.

Given the contrast in form, don’t be surprised if Hegelmann avoid defeat and get something out of thie game. A 1-1 draw is the pick for correct score.
