🗞️ Team News: St. Patrick's Athletic

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

We think that Saints look set to make use of the 4-3-3 system for the game with 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

Thanks to a mainly available group, there is only a single fitness issue for the Galway United gaffer John Caulfield to be concerned with. Ed McCarthy (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Tribesman will likely begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, going 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.
