St Patricks vs Shelbourne Predictions

• Only league leaders Shamrock Rovers have won more than St Patrick’s this season
• Both teams have scored in five of St Patrick’s last six matches.

Hosts can rack up another victory

St Patrick’s have been in solid form recently, winning four of their last five games and they can add to that tally when they host Shelbourne on Friday. The visitors have won just one of their last five matches and were beaten 1-0 by these opponents recently.

In total, St Pat’s have won the last three meetings between these two teams and the home side are the second-highest scorers behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers so should be able to inflict some damage on Shelbourne in this matchup.

Both sides likely to be involved

Despite their attacking success, St Patrick’s can be vulnerable at the back, only the bottom two have a worse defensive record than their tally having conceded 30 times in 21 matches so both teams are fancied to score in this one.

Both teams have found the net in five of St Patrick’s last six matches and they should be able to bounce back from defeat last time out against Drogheda as they return to home soil.

Take St Pat’s to record a 3-1 victory in what looks set to be an entertaining clash.
