St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormThe last league instalment for St. Patrick's Athletic produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Sligo Rovers. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Sligo Rovers, who had 7 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormShamrock Rovers will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Waterford. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Waterford, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Goalscorer Darragh Burns will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Shamrock Rovers.
It was not a positive ending for St. Patrick's Athletic last time they met Shamrock Rovers in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Richmond Park, St. Patrick's Athletic have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. The Hoops will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with St. Patrick's Athletic. Shamrock have a decent scoring record against Saints in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two. The Shamrock defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Saints in the league, with Shamrock conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, Shamrock has a good track record when they travel to St. Patrick's Athletic, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
Seán Kavanagh has scored on each of Shamrock's last 0 visits to St. Patrick's Athletic.
With only Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament) and Ryan McLaughlin (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jon Daly will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Stephen Bradley has a number of injury concerns in his Shamrock squad to contend with: Jack Byrne (Calf), Neil Farrugia (Collarbone), Seán Kavanagh (Muscle) and Aaron McEneff (Unknown)
