📰 Team News: St. Patrick's Athletic

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the St. Patrick's Athletic manager Stephen Kenny to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Romal Palmer (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.

In our view, Saints will probably use the 4-3-3 formation, utilising Joseph Anang, Ryan McLaughlin, Joe Redmond, Sean Hoare, Anto Breslin, Kian Leavy, Jamie Lennon, Simon Power, Zak Elbouzedi, Aidan Keena and Jason McClelland.

📋 Team News: Drogheda United

We’re of the thinking that The Drogs seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation using Luke Dennison, Aaron Harper-Bailey, Conor Keeley, Andrew Quinn, Owen Lambe, Luke Heeney, Darragh Markey, Conor Kane, Ryan Brennan, Douglas James-Taylor and Warren Davis.

🔮 Prediction

We think that Drogheda United will need things to go their way to score goals against this St. Patrick's Athletic lineup who we reckon should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore predicting a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for St. Patrick's Athletic at the end of this game.

Expecting it to be tight.
