St. Patrick's Athletic welcome Derry City at Richmond Park, Dublin on Friday, Jul 31 at 8:45 PM in a League of Premier Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
St. Patrick's Athletic come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Derry City travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, St. Patrick's Athletic face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Derry City have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives St. Patrick's Athletic a slight edge, but Derry City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
