They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Derry City managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Manager Stephen O'Donnell will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 2 goals, conceded 12, and picked up a meagre 2 points. They have failed to score in their last 4 home games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Oriel Park, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormSt. Patrick's Athletic will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Shamrock Rovers. In that game they had 30% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Shamrock Rovers who had 20 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for St. Patrick's Athletic.
