Premier Division
St. Patrick's have won in four of the last seven H2H matches against their next opponent. On the other hand, Dundalk won twice in the same period, with one draw. This season, the teams have met twice, and both sides won at home. Also, it is worth noting that three of the previous four H2H games have gone over 2.5 goals.
St. Patrick's team overview
St. Patrick's are regularly in the top half of the Premier Division. This season, they are eight points behind the league leaders, Shamrock, after 24 league rounds, and it seems more realistic to fight for a spot in the Conference League. St. Patrick's haven't been at their best recently, winning only two of the last four matches in all competitions. In the most recent outing, the team from Richmond Park won 2-1 at home in the cup against Wexford. St. Patrick's beat the opponent from the lower division, but the fans surely expected more.
St. Patrick's manager Stephen Kenny wasn't fully satisfied after a victory in the cup against Wexford. He said, "We would have preferred it to be more comfortable, and it wasn’t. We have to look at ourselves in that regard but also credit Wexford for their part because they did really well."
St. Patrick's have some problems with injuries. They will be without Ronan Boyce, Zachary Elbouzedi, and Max Andrew Mata.

Dundalk team overview
After last season in the lower division, it is a big success for Dundalk to be among the best Premier Division teams in the current campaign.
Ciaran Kilduff's team is seven points behind their next opponent, but still in contention for the Conference League spot. The last few weeks have been tough for Dundalk, as they lost the previous three league games in a row. They returned to the right track last week in the cup, when Kilduff's team won 3-1 on the road against St. Mochta's.
This summer, Dundalk left two very important forwards, Eoin Kenny and Gbemi Arubi, so they urgently needed a new player. A few days ago, Dundalk signed talented Cian Dillon from QPR U21. He will be available to make his debut on Friday night against St. Patrick's.
Norman Garbett, Conor Kearns, Daniel Mullen, and Conor O'Keeffe are injured and will not travel to Dublin for the clash against St. Patrick's.
