Under 2.5 goals at Finn Harps vs St. Patrick’s Athletic 7/10 for Friday’s Irish Premier Division showdown

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In what could turn out to be another low-scoring affair from the Irish Premier Division this weekend, Finn Harps will host St. Patrick’s Athletic on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, despite managing to come from behind last weekend and snatching a point on home soil, Finn Harps are still looking for their first Premiership victory. In their opening three top-flight matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins against a single defeat, scoring just one and conceding four in return. Managing to open the 2022 campaign with two points from a possible nine, they open Friday’s fixtures sat down in ninth. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Bohemians, Finn Harps have failed to win any of their last five outings continuing on from their pre-season run. Likewise, it should also be noted, this weekend’s hosts have seen six of their previous seven outings finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, managing to pick up what was an eye-catching victory last time out, there is no doubt that St. Patrick’s will be desperate to build off of that display. In their opening four Irish Premiership matchups this season, they have recorded two wins against a pair of defeats, scoring five and conceding three in return. Managing to muster a points tally of six from a possible 12, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the table and just a pair of points adrift of top spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Shamrock Rovers on home soil, St. Patrick’s have won just a trio of their eight matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Friday’s guests failing to bag more than a single strike in just one of their last eight matchups, we’re backing a low-scoring outcome here.
