St. Patricks vs UC Dublin Match Preview

St. Patricks is ranked at the 4th place with 28 points and comes after a win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. It may not be the best form they come into but playing against the worst team in the league surely gives them a golden chance to bounce back and get back on winning ways.

They have scored 24 goals so far having one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of five goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in three occasions. Defensively they have been very solid conceding just 16 goals which make them the third-best defensive side in the league. They kept a clean sheet at home in three of the last five duels.

UC Dublin, on the other hand, is ranked at the bottom of the table sitting in 10th place with only nine points out of 18 matches played and this shows how poor they have been until now. They come after a win, two draws and two losses in the last five games and this was their only win during this campaign. Even that came against Finn Harps which is a team that is doing awfully this season.

They have scored only 11 goals which makes them the worst offensive side in the league and conceded a total of 38 goals making them the worst defensive side overall. In the last five matches, they conceded eight goals and managed to keep a clean sheet just once in the win against Finn Harps.

In conclusion, I think St. Patricks can manage to win this match and cover -1 goals Asian handicap. They are a way better team than their rivals and have all the motivation needed for a win here as they need to keep up with their rivals if they want to hope for a spot in Europa League next season. UC Dublin has been playing very bad football and I see them being directly relegated. They lack the quality needed to compete in Irish top level of football.
