Dundalk FC vs St Patricks Dublin - 31/07/2020
2503
On Friday night, Dundalk host St. Patrick’s at Oriel Park in the Irish Premier Division, with the home team looking to return to the top of the table.
Dundalk have made a good start to their campaign in the Irish Premier Division, winning four of their five matches so far this season. Last time out, Vinny Perth’s team recorded a 4-0 win at Perth Harps.
The victory leaves the home team second in the table, three points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers, who defeated Dundalk earlier in the campaign. The defeat was Rovers only blip so far this season.
The reigning champions will once again look to experience forward Pat Hoban to provide the attacking threat, as the 29-year-old has scored five times in as many league outings this season. The former Oxford forward has been prolific in recent seasons and will once again be expected to fire the champions to the league title.
Dundalk have continued their strong home form from last season, as they are now unbeaten in 23 matches on home soil in the Irish top-flight, having won their last 12 home games.
St. Patrick’s have endured a typically inconsistent start to their league campaign, picking up six points from a possible 12 this season. A 1-0 win over Cork City last time out was only their third victory in ten Irish Premier Division matches stretching back to last October.
The visitors league games have been low-scoring this season, as all four of their league games have produced under 2.5 goals.
St. Patrick’s recent away record in the top-flight is a mixed one, which is understandable considering their recent inconsistent league form. The visitors suffered a 1-0 defeat Shelbourne in their previous away game in the Irish top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Dundalk will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to continue their stellar start to the league campaign.
