Longford Town vs St Patricks Dublin - 12/06/2021
4081
On Saturday night, Longford Town host St Patricks Dublin at the Bishopsgate Stadium, as the visitors look to consolidate their place in the Irish Premier Division table.
Longford Town have endured a poor league campaign so far, picking up just seven points from their last 14 matches, a run that has them ninth-place in the table. Daire Doyle’s team are just a point clear of the one automatic relegation spot.
A 1-0 home defeat against Shamrock Rovers last time out means that Town have now lost their last four league matches.
They have also failed to win in 13 Premier Division matches, suffering nine defeats in the run.
Longford Town have struggled for home form dating back to their last spell in the Premier Division, as they have now won just once in their last 23 matches on their travels. In that poor run, they have also failed to win in six away games in the Irish top-flight.
St Patricks head into this clash in poor form, having won just one of their last six league games while having suffered three defeats in their last five outings in the Premier Division.
Despite their recent struggles, the team from the Irish capital are still in third place in the table, five points behind second-place Shamrock Rovers in the race for the European qualification spots.
The visitors have endured some major defensive problems of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five international outings.
That poor defensive record has led to four of their last five matches in the Premier Division producing over 2.5 goals.
St Patricks have been poor on their travels of late, winning just two of their last nine away games dating back to last season.
However, Forebet predicts that St Patricks will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to consolidate their position in the league’s top-four.
