Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could see a string of chances at both ends of the pitch, St. Patrick’s will host Dundalk on Friday night when this weekend’s Irish Premier Division fixtures open up.

Starting with the hosts, while St. Patrick’s might still find themselves mixing it in the European spots, they have shown some recent signs of a struggle. In their 13 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, four draws and just two defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 12 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 25 and holding a three-point buffer from dropping out of the top-three, it should also be noted St. Patrick’s hold the second-best attacking tally in the division. However, as for their recent run of results, Friday’s hosts were last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against Derry City on the road and they have now recorded just a single win in their last five Premier Division matchups. It’s also worth highlighting that each of those five contests have finished with both teams finding the net by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been their own worrying run of form, the former Irish champions are a side who are really seeking some stability. In their 13 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, five draws and five defeats, scoring 16 and conceding 19 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 14, The Reds open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in seventh and holding the third-worst defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 5-1 drumming against Bohemians on the road, Dundalk have managed to win just one of their last five Premier Division fixtures. It should be noted, with four of their last five top-tier contests finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome on Friday night.
