St Patrick's Athletic Cork City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be St. Patrick's win. Aside from the home team having a good record in their home games with three straight victories and a total of nine goals scored, they will still face a more unmotivated opponent which has won only one of their last four away games. In this way, St. Patrick's is expected to put their favoritism on the field and conquer the three points.
