ℹ️ Team News: St. Patrick's Athletic

Romal Palmer (Hamstring injury) and Aidan Keena (Hamstring injury) won’t be available for St. Patrick's Athletic manager Stephen Kenny.

It seems likely that Saints could use a 4-3-3 system in the match, utilising Joseph Anang, Axel Sjöberg, Joe Redmond, Sean Hoare, Al-Amin Kazeem, Chris Forrester, Jamie Lennon, Kian Leavy, Jason McClelland, Mason Melia and Zak Elbouzedi.

📰 Team News: Galway United

In an otherwise available squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Galway United boss John Caulfield to be concerned with. Ed McCarthy (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We believe Tribesman will likely play in a 3-5-2 formation, starting the game with Brendan Clarke, Greg Cunningham, Rob Slevin, Cian Byrne, Killian Brouder, Patrick Hickey, Vincent Borden, Jeannot Esua, Bobby Burns, David Hurley and Moses Dyer.

🧠 Prediction

It looks to us that St. Patrick's Athletic can get the win and a possible clean sheet when they meet Galway United, who might well find it difficult to score.

We’re tipping a 2-0 winning margin for St. Patrick's Athletic after 90 minutes.
