There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the St. Patrick's Athletic players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Shelbourne.  In that game they had 35% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Shelbourne who had 28 attempts and 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 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.  

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.

Failing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Derry City will have left the Dundalk squad feeling a little deflated.  They achieved 72% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Derry City's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 4 of which were 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 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.  

With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Dundalk, Patrick Hoban will be looking to add more goals against St. Patrick's Athletic in this match.
