Matchday 26 of the Ireland Premier Division sees St Patricks and Derry City lock horns at Richmond Park. The hosts are enjoying a great run of form at home with three wins in four league games, and our prediction is for St Patricks to win.
St Patricks are among the main contenders alongside Bohemians in the race for the league title. With 43 points accumulated, they occupy second place in the league standings and are seven points adrift of the top spot.
Heading into this clash, the Saints have drawn their last two league games. In their recent match against Dundalk, they played out a 1-1 home draw with Sean Hoare scoring the equalizer in the second half.
In between those results, there was a confidence-boosting 2-1 home victory over Wexford in the second round of the FAI Cup.
Meanwhile, Derry City are in sixth place with 29 points in the league standings and have maintained a seven-point cushion over the relegation playoff spot.
The Candystripes enter this clash in a difficult run of form, having lost five of their last six matches across all competitions. A 1-0 home defeat against Rijeka in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round confirmed their elimination from the competition (2-0 aggregate).
In their latest league outing, they faced Waterford and were favorites to secure maximum points at home. That wasn't the case as they suffered a 4-2 defeat.

Our St Patricks vs Derry City Prediction
It has been a real struggle for St Patricks to get anything positive out of this fixture, going winless in five league games. However, there's a strong opportunity to end that run given their promising form. They are unbeaten in their last four home matches with three wins in the process.
Defeat is inevitable for Derry City given their erratic away form. Apart from going winless in eight outings across all competitions, they've navigated six league games without a win, recording three losses and three draws. Our St Patricks vs Derry City prediction: St Patricks wins.
