In a matchup between two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Premier Division table, Finn Harps will host St Patrick’s Athletic on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what has been a much-needed boost over the past three weeks, the Finn Harps will be desperate to extend on their recent purple patch. In their 23 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, five draws and 11 defeats, scoring 21 and conceding 31 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 26, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the standings and holding a one-point buffer from dropping into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a thumping 3-0 win against Longford Town on the road, Friday’s hosts have won each of their last three matchups across all formats. However, holding what is a worrying record on home soil, it should also be noted that The Harps have seen three of their last four home fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has been a hugely impressive run of form and gaining a reputation for their lively outcomes, St Patrick’s Athletic still find themselves battling it out in the title chase. In their 24 Premier Division contests so far this season, they have recorded 14 wins, five draws and five defeats, scoring 42 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 47, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the table and just three points adrift of league leaders Shamrock Rovers. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 win against Waterford on home soil, St Patrick’s have won five of their last six matchups across all formats. It should be noted, with just their last four contests producing 18 goals, we’re backing what could be another high-scoring contest on Friday night.
