Last seen extending on their FAI Cup adventure with a 2-1 victory at home against Wexford, Stephen Kenny’s men have rightfully received plenty of plaudits this year. Getting July underway with a dominant 3-0 win against Galway, the Saints will be looking to make another public statement this weekend. In fact, St. Patrick’s have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Likewise, with their sights set on punching a sensational European ticket this year, Friday’s hosts have also continued to shine with their success on home soil. It should be highlighted, Kenny’s camp have won all of their previous four consecutive domestic showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 9-1.As for the visitors, while Dundalk might have claimed a much-welcomed FAI Cup boost last time out as they secured a routine 3-1 victory away at St. Mochta’s, the Lilywhites have seen their respective bronze medal dreams take an almighty blow over the past month. Signing off June with an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against Waterford, Ciaran Kilduff’s men have lost all of their previous three straight Premier Division appearances. Opening Friday’s showdown sat seven points adrift of St. Patrick’s and sneaking into the European spots, Dundalk have also shown some rather glaring defensive issues. Getting July underway with back-to-back 2-1 defeats against Shelbourne and Drogheda, the Llywhites have failed to muster a single clean sheet from their last five matchups across all fronts. It should also be highlighted, Kilduff’s side slumped to a woeful 4-0 drumming when they last travelled to Richmond Park for a top-flight showdown back on February 27th.Bet: Goal to be scored in both halves at St. Patrick’s Athletic vs Dundalk 4/5 for Friday’s Irish Premier Division battle BetUSThe post Bitesize Prediction: St. Patrick’s Athletic vs Dundalk – 24/07/26 appeared first on SoccerNews.
