Shamrock Rovers are on the cusp of winning their fifth Irish Premier Division title in six years. That could be achieved on Friday when they visit St. Patrick’s Athletic for a round 34 Premier Division match. Read on for our prediction.
St. Patrick's also have all to play for in this game, with a place in Europe well within reach. Placed sixth, they are currently six points adrift of the top three with four games to play. The hosts suffered a 3-0 loss at Cork City in the FA Cup in their last outing.
Playing at home will always present a welcome opportunity for the Saints. They have only lost once in the last 10 matches they hosted. In their last three home games against Shamrock Rovers, St. Patrick's are unbeaten, winning twice.
The last time Shamrock Rovers visited St. Patrick’s, the match ended 2-2. Another draw will be enough to win them the league title.
Last season Shamrock lost to St. Patrick’s in one of their final five league outings, and that proved costly. They would be deposed by Shelbourne, missing the title by two points despite winning all their final four games.
With just a point to play for in the remaining four matches, it doesn’t seem likely that they will suffer the same fate this time. The Hoops are coming off a 1-0 loss to Shelbourne.
