Before we detail our St. Patrick's Athletic vs Derry City predictions below, let’s take a look at how the away side have been shaping up. City’s recent 4-0 thumping of Sligo Rovers was their first win in five outings. Their back-to-back maulings at the hands of Danes Midtjylland in the Europa League qualifiers was a bitter blow to manager Kenny Shiels.
- Der. Cit. 1-2 Cork City
- Midtjylland 6-1 Der. Cit.
- Der. Cit. 1-4 Midtjylland
- Der. Cit. 4-0 Sligo Rovers
St. Patrick's Athletic vs Derry City Prediction and Betting Advice
Our St. Patrick's Athletic vs Derry City picks need to acknowledge that the away side have had a particularly tricky run of games, so while five defeats from six is an awful sequence, the standard of the opposition they faced played a significant part. When the teams last met in April in the north, the contest ended all square, finishing 2-2 at the Brandywell. Friday’s game could well develop along similar lines and with both sides fond of a draw, I’m going to predict another one at the weekend.
