St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormThe St. Patrick's Athletic players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Shelbourne recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Shelbourne managed 10 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
It's been a mixed run of form for St. Patrick's Athletic recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Shamrock Rovers in which they suffered a 4-0 away defeat. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Shamrock Rovers who had 17 attempts and 10 on target.
Manager Kevin Doherty will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
St. Patrick's Athletic will have been disappointed not to take all 3 points in their last league match against Drogheda United with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
The Drogs defence has struggled at Richmond Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits.
In their last 3 league meetings, St. Patrick's Athletic have failed to record a victory against Drogheda.
St. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament), Ruairi Keating (Unknown), Joe Redmond (Ankle) and Axel Sjöberg (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty ahead of this clash, with Evan Weir (Leg) missing out, which gives Doherty a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
