The Super Saints have now made it 4 consecutive league victories and they’ll be aiming for a fifth at Tolka on Monday. St Patrick’s continues to uphold their good form in the league as they remain undefeated in their last 5 league games with 4 wins and a draw. They outclassed Shamrock Rovers in their last league game with a 0-3 victory, Jake Mulraney got a brace for The Saints in that game. St Patrick’s Athletics have an overall league record consisting of 12 wins, 8 draws, and 11 losses from 31 games played. 

A critical look at their last 20 encounters produced 9 wins for both teams and 2 draws. 

It’s always a tough encounter whenever these teams meet as evidenced in their head-to-head stats above. Both teams have clashed thrice this season and it might interest you to know that Shelbourne won all three encounters. However, we expect a different dynamic to this game as The Saints are in exceptional form as we’ve seen in their last 6 league games and we don’t think they’d fall easily here on Monday. We should be scared for Shelbourne as their hopes hang in the balance against an informed St Patrick’s. Shelbourne will give it their all and at least secure a draw. Furthermore, we also expect a tough one here with both teams finding the net.
