The St. Patrick's Athletic squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Shelbourne, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Shelbourne, who had 28 shots on goal with 8 on target.  

Having scored 12 and conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, manager Jon Daly could be forgiven for feeling their recent points haul doesn't quite deliver on the reward his team's strong performance deserves.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Saints, although undefeated in their last 7 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.

Last time out, Drogheda United recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against UCD.  In that game they had 49% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to UCD who had 12 attempts and 3 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.  

Goalscorer Kyle Robinson will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Drogheda United.
