St. Patricks – Derry City

St. Patrick’s are placed third in the table, and are one of the best teams in the Irish top flight. They have a great h2h record against Derry, who have had troubles in showing consistency lately. As of now, Derry are conceding goals in huge numbers, and they are placed sixth in a table of ten. Note that they had also been going through a poor run on the road, at the start of the season. Meanwhile, St. Patrick’s are scoring goals in almost every other match-up, and especially at home, they have been a force to be reckoned with.

Athletic had scored two or more goals in six of their past eight overall matches, and they had won three of their former five fixtures. Note that they had also won seven of their previous nine home appearances, and they have lost just thrice at home since August of 2020. On the other hand, their counterparts were winless in 21 of their last 29 overall games, and in the process, they had also gone on a five-game losing run. Taking into account these observations, expect a win for St. Patrick’s Athletic this weekend.
