St. Patrick's Athletic will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Shamrock Rovers with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Shamrock Rovers, who had 19 shots on goal with 10 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Jon Daly will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They have had a strong run of form at Richmond Park recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.

Last time out, Derry City left content aftera 1-0 home win against Bohemian FC  In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 11 shots on goal.  

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 5 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 clean sheets in a row.  

Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.  

On an individual basis, Patrick Hoban will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 9 goals in Derry City's 16 league games this season.
