St. Patrick’s Athletic to Win & Under 3.5 Goals

St. Patrick’s Athletic have won more points at home than any other team in the Premier Division this season and as such, they are strong favourites to beat bottom club Longford Town on Friday. However, Town have conceded one or fewer goals in six of their last eight away matches and their massed defensive ranks could prove tough to break down again. With that considered, the home win and under 3.5 goals combination line looks a price worth pursuing.

Half Time/Full Time – St. Patrick’s Athletic/St. Patrick’s Athletic

The Saints have been playing some superb football at Richmond Park this term, winning 83.3% of their home matches there overall and that strength on their own patch should see them take command of their clash with Longford early on. A bet on Pats in the half time/full time market would have landed in four of their last five home matches and the same line appeals when the division’s worst outfit visit Dublin on Friday.

St. Patrick’s Athletic to Win to Nil

Longford have scored just nine times in 12 Premier Division away assignments this season and they have failed to score in a staggering 48% of their fixtures in total. Town were unable to impact the scoresheet when they last visited Richmond Park in April (0-3) and the Saints – who have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five matches at home – could be in line for another shutout this week.

St Patrick's Athletic vs Longford Town: Match Preview

St. Patrick’s Athletic

St. Patrick’s Athletic are still in the title race, though their shock 3-1 reverse at Finn Harps last time out was a major blow to their chances. The Saints now trail leaders Shamrock Rovers by three points, though they have played two games more than their rivals. That makes a victory over Longford Town on Friday imperative for Stephen O’Donnell’s men.

Longford Town

With four defeats on the spin and just a solitary victory earned all season, Longford’s 2021/22 campaign has been a rotten one so far. With their return to the First Division all but a mathematical certainty, Town have little other than pride to play for between now and the finish line, though they aren’t expected to add to their meagre haul of victories.
