Fourth-placed St. Patrick’s Athletic host Drogheda United in a Friday night game in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Richmond Park will be abuzz as these two teams meet for the third time in the league this season, with the Saints and Boynesiders still yet to score against each other. What will our prediction be for a match that looks likely to be exceptionally closely contested?
The home side manager, Stephen Kenny, will be pleased with his team's form at home, with no defeats in nine games, including five wins. It is that form which has propelled them into fourth spot in the table. However, opposition boss Kevin Doherty has seen his Drogheda team move into second place of late with just three defeats in their 19 games, nine of which have ended in draws.
Coming into this fixture, St. Patrick’s have had a mixed run of form. They were beaten 4-0 away to Shamrock Rovers and then drew 2-2 at home to Waterford, but in their last game ahead of the international break, they earned a 1-0 away win at Sligo Rovers.
Drogheda come into this game on a run of three draws in the last four. A 1-1 home draw with Derry City was followed by a 0-0 draw away to Shelbourne. A 1-0 win over Bohemians followed before their last game, which saw them held 2-2 away by Waterford.

Our St Patricks vs Drogheda United Prediction
Our prediction for the St. Patrick's Athletic vs. Drogheda United Irish Premier Division match is: A draw.
Fourth faces second with just one point between the two teams in what is a crucial game for both sides. St Pat's home form is excellent, but Drogheda have proven themselves very tough to beat in recent times. Both games between the two this season finished 0-0, and this looks like being equally as tight. As such, the data strongly suggests that the draw is the smart option to back here.
