St. Patrick's Athletic host Galway United on Friday in a Premier Division clash between sides at very different ends of the form table. The Saints have bagged back-to-back home wins with two goals scored in each, while Galway arrive off a heavy defeat to the league leaders. With the hosts' home scoring record, our prediction backs St. Patrick's to score more than 1.5 goals.
St Pat's sit 3rd in the table and have found the net with real consistency at Richmond Park, beating Drogheda United 2-0 and Sligo Rovers 2-0 in their last two home outings before a defeat away to Bohemians.
Galway, down in 7th, have struggled defensively as of late and were beaten 3-1 by Shamrock Rovers last time out. In truth, they’ve been one of the most open sides at the back, having conceded 34 league goals in 21 games (4th-most).
That kind of defensive fragility on the road offers little reassurance against a home side that has been reliably clinical in front of its own fans this season. For us, The Saints will penetrate, and more than once.

Our St Patricks vs Galway United FC Prediction
St Pat's attacking output at Richmond Park has not just been dependable throughout the season, but have earned them the most goals at home in the league (24). Galway's leaky recent defensive form and record of 4th-most goals conceded this season gives no indication they can keep this one tight.
With the hosts motivated to build on a strong home record, the goals should come. Hence, our St. Patrick's Athletic vs Galway United prediction is that St. Patrick's scores over 1.5 goals.
