St Patrick's and Shelbourne meet in the Irish top flight, with the hosts sitting 2nd and chasing the top of the table, while the visitors are 4th and need points to pull further away from the mid-table pack. This one is a game where both sides have their own reasons to come out and take points. St Patrick's come in on a good run, on a winning streak, and in their latest match they thrashed the opposition 4-0 at home. Their attack has scored consistently all season. Shelbourne, meanwhile, have been up and down, but they just won 5-1 in their last match and are unbeaten in their last three, even though their defence has conceded a fair amount all season. The pattern of play should see the hosts controlling the ball and pushing forward, while Shelbourne will likely sit in a block and wait for chances to counter at speed. If the hosts can't break them down early, the game could drag on and finish with a scoreline that isn't far apart.
