Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Shamrock Rovers. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Shamrock Rovers' tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Damien Duff will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They've kept 5 clean sheets so far this season.
They have had a good run of form at Tolka Park recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormThe St. Patrick's Athletic squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Derry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 67 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
St. Patrick's Athletic will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Shelbourne came out on top, winning the match 1-2.
