The overall average number of goals per game during that spell is just 2.5, with the number of goals averaged by The Lilywhites being 1.67. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be replicated here in this game or not.
Coming into this fixture, Dundalk are winless against St. Patrick's Athletic in away games against them for the last 5 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.

๐ฐ Team News: St. Patrick's Athletic
Availability isnโt a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the St. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly to be concerned with due to a largely intact group. Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.
In our view, Saints may well opt for a 3-4-3 formation for this one, handing starts to Marcelo Pitaluga, Joe Redmond, Conor Keeley, Luke Turner, Kian Leavy, Jamie Lennon, Chris Forrester, Anto Breslin, Brandon Kavanagh, Ruairi Keating and Jason McClelland.
๐๏ธ Team News: Dundalk
Thanks to a completely healthy squad available for selection, the Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell does not have any fitness worries to report ahead of this clash.
Weโre of the thinking that The Lilywhites might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Ross Munro, Archie Davies, Louie Annesley, Andrew Boyle, Hayden Muller, Scott High, Zak Bradshaw, Paul Doyle, Robbie Benson, Daryl Horgan and Cameron Elliott.
โจ Prediction
We feel that Dundalk have the ability to breach the defence of this St. Patrick's Athletic lineup, although it probably shouldnโt be as many as theyโll concede.
Our tip is for a very close game with a 2-1 win for St. Patrick's Athletic at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
