St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormSt. Patrick's Athletic will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their away fixture against Cork City.
It's fair to say that manager Tim Clancy will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 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 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for St. Patrick's Athletic recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Chris Forrester will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for St. Patrick's Athletic.
Drogheda United, Recent FormThe Drogheda United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Derry City recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Drogheda United, Freddie Draper will be looking to add more goals against St. Patrick's Athletic in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-3 win for St. Patrick's Athletic.
St. Patrick's Athletic will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Drogs, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 11 meetings between the two. In their recent meetings Drogheda have struggled to keep Saints at bay, having conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games. Drogheda 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.
Drogheda will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've met St. Patrick's Athletic in the league and not won this fixture for 7 games in a row.
St. Patrick's Athletic player Chris Forrester will be feeling confident about recording goals against Drogheda ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
