St Patrick's form and stats

The previous season, St Patrick's's league statistics were 18 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses, leading to 2nd place in the Premier Division. From these 36 matches they scored 56 goals and gave away 42. Appearing at their own stadium in the last season St Patrick's delivered 12-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 18 conceded.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how St Patrick's have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost four.

The manager Clancy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bohemians in only three days.

Sligo Rovers form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sligo Rovers performed last season in the Premier Division: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 9 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 32 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 6 with 19/19 goals scored/conceded.

Rovers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and four defeats. From a total of nine matches.

The schedule is very tough for Sligo Rovers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier Division game at Derry City is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - three - two (St Patrick's wins - draws - Sligo Rovers wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
