These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Bohemians form and stats
3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier Division numbers at home for Bohemians so far this season.
Happy days for Bohemians in their previous game, a fixture away at Derry City (placed 2nd) that ended with a 1-0 victory.
Before that game, the home loss against Shamrock Rovers with the scoreline 0-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Bohemians perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bohemians as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Bohemians has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.
A decent goal production from Bohemians in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. Bohemians have conceded 5 in these home matches.
St Patrick's form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier Division travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Patrick's play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Drogheda United (placed 7th).
Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Cork City.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with St Patrick's playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 2 St Patrick's wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy St Patrick's's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. The Patrick's manager Clancy has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Oddly enough, St Patrick's have scored at least one goal in every league fixture they've played since NOT scoring against today's home team; the St Patrick's - Bohemians 0-2 match five rounds ago. Head-to-head data (for the prior ten meetings): Bohemians won three games, two matches ended with a draw and St Patrick's got five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
