St Patrick's Athl. vs Dundalk: match statistics
Dundalk presents significantly better form than St Patrick's Athletic, evidenced by a five-match unbeaten streak (wwddd) and higher PPG (1.8 vs 1.0). The visitors have a decisive advantage in offensive statistics – averaging 1.5 goals per away match and scoring 12 goals in their last 5 games, while the hosts have not scored a single goal in home matches this season. Dundalk also dominates technical aspects with 5.5 shots on target and 11.5 attempts per away match. St Patrick's shows alarming offensive deficiencies (0 GF in home matches, 0% efficiency) and sits only in 9th place in the table. Given Dundalk's 100% draw rate away from home and the hosts' weakness, I expect a victory for the visitors or a draw, with the advantage leaning towards Dundalk.
