St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormSt. Patrick's Athletic have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Dundalk in their previous league match. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 11 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Jon Daly will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Bohemian FC last time out in the league. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Damien Duff will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 9 games.
On an individual basis, Seán Boyd will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Shelbourne's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Shelbourne.
St. Patrick's Athletic have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Shels in each of their previous 3 meetings at Richmond Park. St. Patrick's Athletic will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Shels, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides. Shelbourne have struggled to break down the Saints defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the league, St. Patrick's Athletic has a good track record when they host Shelbourne, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
St. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament), Ryan McLaughlin (Calf) and Romal Palmer (Lack of fitness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Shelbourne manager Damien Duff ahead of this clash, with Shane Griffin (Calf) missing out, which gives Duff a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
