Best Tip: St Patrick's to win

There looks like a strong favourite for this game, and it's St Patrick's. Their latest form statistics show their ability at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they can get the job done against Sligo too. The odds point towards Stephen Kenny's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's what we're predicting for Friday evening too.

Goal Statistics

Sligo Rovers have been abject at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 4 consecutive Premier Division games. This run could continue, with St Patrick's Athletic's PG an impressive 2.1.

With a PG of just 0.9, Sligo Rovers look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that St Patrick's Athletic have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive Premier Division matches, and it could be a long evening for J. Russell's men.
