Dundalk vs Saint Patr. Prediction 14 September 2026
🔊 As the season draws to a close, Dundalk face St Patrick's Athletic with the two sides approaching the match in very different circumstances.

St Patrick's Athletic are in the opposite situation - they are in the title race and sit just three points off first place. The contrast between the high stakes for the visitors and the lack of pressure on the hosts could affect both the mentality and the nature of the game.

Head-to-head statistics Dundalk - Saint Patr.
Dundalk Team Overview
Dundalk are seeing out the end of the season without any real targets to play for, and that is showing in the nature of their matches. They have been a high-scoring side in recent games: over their last ten matches they are averaging 2.3 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game - both figures above their seasonal averages. Over the last five matches, Dundalk have won two, lost two and drawn one. Consistency is lacking, but the attacking threat remains even without any pressure on results. That balance tends to produce open games with goals at both ends: it is a consistent trend, backed up by regular productivity going forward and errors at the back.

Saint Patrick´s Athletic Team Overview
St Patrick's Athletic are heading into the final stretch of the season with maximum motivation - they sit just three points off first place and are in contention for the title. That factor adds urgency to every match, which is also reflected in the quality of their play going forward. Over their last ten matches, St Patrick's Athletic have shown good momentum: five wins and one defeat, averaging 1.4 goals scored and just 0.9 conceded per game. That said, even with a solid defensive record, they do not always keep a clean sheet, and the need to close the gap on the leaders forces them to be active in attack regardless of the opposition.

Total Goals Prediction
In St Patrick's Athletic matches, Total Goals - Under 3.5 has landed in 18 of their last 19 games, pointing to a clear low-scoring trend. Dundalk's average of 1.57 goals per game this season is matched by St Patrick's Athletic's identical figure of 1.57, and neither side has been particularly prolific. These numbers make Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.36* a reasonable selection for this fixture.
Corners Prediction
Dundalk have won more than 4.5 corners at home in seven consecutive matches - a consistent trend. The length of the run and the absence of conflicting data make Dundalk Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at 1.65* one of the best-supported picks in the corners market.
Reliable Bet
Dundalk have scored at home in 24 of their last 25 matches - about as reliable as this market gets. With an average home scoring rate of 1.64 goals and no significant issues to speak of, the bet on Dundalk Team Total - Over 0.5 at odds of 1.33* looks as well-founded as it gets.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Given the pattern of regular goal exchanges involving Dundalk - both teams score and concede in almost every match - and the hosts' high scoring rate over their recent run of games, the conditions again point towards an open game. St Patrick's Athletic cannot afford to drop points at the end of the season given the title race, so they will be forced to push forward. At the same time, even the visitors' solid defence does not always hold up against opposition attacks, as their record of conceding in several consecutive matches shows. Both sides have clear reasons to find the net at least once. The prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
