Match description
St Patrick's Athl. sit 2nd in the table while Sligo Rovers are 9th, reflecting a gap in effectiveness — Sligo have 10 goals this season versus St Patrick's 26. At home Sligo average 0.86 goals scored and concede 1.14 with average xG for 1.26 and xG against 1.65, whereas the visitors on the road average 1.43 goals scored and concede 1.29 with xG for 1.72 and xG against 1.29. The visitors generate significantly more chances — on average 5.0 shots on target and 15.57 total shots per match versus the hosts' 2.71 shots on target and 11.71 total shots — and have higher efficiency (conversion 9% vs 7%), visible in St Patrick's 13 goals in the last 5 matches versus Sligo's 6, despite both teams recording 3 wins in that period. Sligo have a high share of home games without scoring (57%), although they kept a clean sheet in 43% of matches, while the visitors fail to score in 43% of away matches; this indicates a visitors' advantage in chance creation and exploitation. Considering the higher xG (1.72 vs 1.26), greater number of shots on target and 13 goals in the last 5 matches, I tip an away win; probabilities: home 15%, draw 25%, away 60%.
