View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The season-long rate of matches featuring goals from both teams stands at 57% for both St Patrick's Athl. and Waterford, only slightly below the league average of 60%. The hosts score an average of 1.36 goals, while Waterford concede as many as 2.29 per match, with the visitors keeping a clean sheet in just 14% of games—strongly supporting a St Patrick's goal. Waterford’s attacking xG is simultaneously 1.43, higher than the hosts’ 1.40, while the St Patrick's defense allows an average xG of 1.83. Caution is warranted due to Waterford’s last five matches, in which the team conceded just 0.4 goals per game and BTTS occurred in 40% of fixtures; however, their attacking potential should be enough to score once. Therefore, the scenario in which both teams score is slightly more likely than BTTS No, meaning that at least one team fails to score.
